The Scholastic Book Fair is this week. We are in desperate need of volunteers. If you have not worked a book fair before, we will have at least one parent, who has worked fairs in the past, with you. See the Sign Up Genius at the end of this post.

Please consider devoting a few hours of your time this week to help with the book fair, which includes set up on Monday, 11/11, Preview on 11/12, Shopping day on 11/13, and Makeup on 11/14 until 12 p.m.

If you were waiting to sign up to fill in the open slots, now is the time to sign up to give us a better understanding of where there are still gaps in volunteers.

Thanks for your help!
