Scholastic Book Fair 2011 - The Best Ever!

Thank you to Ridgeview's PTA, Co-Chairs Katie Arney and Carol Shutley, and Ridgeview students, parents, and staff for the best book fair we have ever had!  The total sales of the book fair was over $7,000 and the media center will receive over $4,000 to purchase new books and materials for our library.  More importantly, Ridgeview students and staff raised almost $700 in our One for Books campaign.  Our goal was $500 and you far-exceeded this goal!  The entire school will receive a special jeans day!  Scholastic matches these funds dollar for dollar and also makes a matching donation to organizations in the community. 

Ms. Lessinger’s homeroom raised the most money (an average of almost $4 per student) and received a donut party.

Special thanks to the following homerooms which also raised a large amount of money – Mr. Grant’s, Ms. Billie Williams', and Ms. Furst’s.

I thought the book fair selection was great this year, and we already have some of the wonderful new books on our shelves!

Scholastic Book Fair is coming!

The Scholastic Book Fair will begin next Monday, October 24th in the Little Assembly Room.  All students will visit with their Language Arts classes.  You also may visit the book fair before school or during school with a pass from your teacher.  You should have money to purchase as well.  Don't forget to bring your money starting next Monday!  There will be lots of fabulous books as well as a Young Adult section.


Also, bring your money in for our One for Books fundraiser!  We are hoping to top $500 raised this year!  All money goes back in to free books for students at our school.  Scholastic also matches each dollar earned with a donation to charities in the community.  If we reach our goal of $500, the entire school will receive a free jeans day!  Also, the homerooms that collect the most money will receive a donut party as well.  Bring in at least a dollar and any loose change.  Let's make this the best year ever!
