2020 Scholastic Book Fair Information

 From Mr. Rhynolds...our library extraordinaire:

Hi Everyone:

Dallas Elementary Library is once again hosting a fall book fair this year from November 9-November 20. Due to Covid, however, it will be an online book fair.

The Virtual Book Fair is a fantastic way to continue to give our students access to books they want to read. All purchases benefit our school and library and earn rewards that can be redeemed for books and educational resources.

To visit our school's specific online scholastic book store, click on the link below. While you can access the link at any time, you will not be able to actually start purchasing until the 9th. All purchases are shipped DIRECTLY to your home address...

Happy shopping AND reading, and thank you SO much for your continued support!!
