We are so excited to host our annual Spring Scholastic Book Fair! The Fair will run from March 27-31, with a preview day on March 24. At the Preview, students can make wish lists to bring home, showing you all of the books they are excited about from the fair. All proceeds from the fair directly benefit our school library. It’s also a great way to build your home library or purchase a gift for your child’s teacher!

During Class Shopping

All library classes will have the opportunity to shop at the Book Fair during their regular library class time.

Family Shopping
We hope to see you at one of our Family Events – Tuesday, March 28 or Wednesday, March 29 from 3-5 p.m. This is a great chance to check out teacher Wish Lists!

Online Shopping

The Book Fair is again online. Find all of the titles from our in-school Fair, plus thousands of other choices. Your purchases from the online Fair are delivered to school for free! The online Fair is open through April 5. To shop, please visit https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/sippican.

It is hard to believe that we are ready to begin the 2022-23 school year! I hope that all of you have been reading a bunch over your busy vacation time. I can’t wait to hear all about it! I’m working hard to make sure that the library is ready for YOU. We’ll start checking out books for students in grades 1-6 on September 6. Kindergarten students, you’ll begin after we have a chance to talk about how we take care of books! Until then, I’m looking forward to seeing you in the library.

Believe it or not, our school year is quickly coming to an end. Summer is a great time for reading so be sure to make it a part of your daily schedule. Check out our summer reading website to see the annual book lists, weekly challenge boards, and exciting events that are taking place.
