Scholastic Book Fair

For four days in December we’ll have our own bookstore at school! The bookstore will be open Monday, Dec. 3 through Thursday, Dec 6 in the Multi-Purpose room next to the cafeteria.

Book Fair Hours:

Monday 7:45-3:30

Tuesday 7:45-3:30

Wednesday 7:45-6:00

Thursday 7:45-6:00

We know that when children pick their own books, they are more likely to read them. We also know that children who read 30 minutes per day graduate in the top 10% of their class.  Help us raise readers by talking with your children about what they like to read and encouraging them to read daily.

Proceeds from the book fair will directly benefit students and teachers at HCS in the form of classroom distribution, spring and fall grants, and other school-based PiE initiatives.

Come shop for holiday gifts!  Hope to see you there!

We need volunteers to staff the book fair!
