Fall Book Fair 2024
October 10th & 11th
The purpose of this committee is to raise funds for the PTA through the sale of books. A portion of the proceeds goes directly to our PTA. It is also a great opportunity for parents to volunteer in the school! We highly recommend that you set up an e-Wallet online for a better shopping experience. Click the link to set up your e-Wallet and order online too. Families can even start shopping online on October 9th with a free shipping code FAIRSHARE.
During the book fair, parents are needed to help the students choose age and subject appropriate books, as well as to make sure that the students have enough money to purchase the items they want. A Scholastic flyer will be backpacked this week as a guide to potential books.
Questions? Contact: Samantha Lebenhart, Erica Schulman and Patrice Gooden

We would like to invite all our incoming kindergarteners to come and play. This is a great chance for your children to meet new friends and become acquainted with each other in a causal, no-pressure setting before the 1st days of school. You may also get to hang out other parents and Mr. Snyder, our principal.
We hope to see you at the play date and look forward to meeting you and your children. If you have any questions over the summer feel free to reach out to us at any time.
