BOOK FAIR information:
Our annual Alta Vista Book Fair, featuring Scholastic and Usborne books, is quickly approaching.
The fair will be held Nov.16-18th in the gym.
The Book Fair is a much anticipated event at Alta Vista, and for every $10 spent, up to $6 goes back to our school in the form of books and educational resources for the library and classrooms.
When will your child go to the book fair?
Your child will be visiting the fair with their class on Wednesday or Thursday. Soon each student will receive the Book Fair Brochure. Keep an eye out for it and keep handy for next week to send back with your children if there is a certain book they would like from the brochure.
The fair will also be open on Thursday evening and Friday morning for your convenience.
