Library On Show – Book Fair Time! This week we held our Scholastic Book Fair and showcased our wonderful new library! I must begin by acknowledging the students who entered the competitions that were run last week; everyone did such a terrific job. Our winners were: Regan G – Prep K Lilly M– 1J Meg G – 2FR Shinae C– 3M Stephanie K – 4Y Kayla W– 6P Imagin M – 6W These students all received a $10 voucher to spend at our fair! Secondly, I would like to recognize the amazing support and help from Denise Aurisch, Jodie Norton and the specialist team. Without them I could not have achieved such a fantastic result for our school. The first day of our fair was very reminiscent of the Myer Boxing Day Sales. As I was teaching my last class for the day I began to notice many enthusiastic parents congregating outside the library; this was my first inkling that our fair was going to be one of success. After two and half hours we had sold $3700 in books and variety items! Wow! The second day was also very successful; however there was definitely more room to move. I cannot pass on my thanks and appreciation enough to all of you, our parents and friends, for the way you have embraced and supported this event. It means that many more new books can be added to our library for all the kids to enjoy. Today is our final afternoon of the fair, so if you haven‘t managed to come and see the new library or visit the fair yet you still have time! Many smiles Miss Sarah Vine
