This year’s Scholastic Book Fair will be held Tuesday, May 1^st through Friday, May 4^th, 2018.

The students will visit the fair with their homeroom teachers. The fair will remain open during the Parent/Teacher conferences on May 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th until 2PM so families can visit together.

Parents and teachers can download the free Scholastic Book Fair to help them make their selection.

The Book Fair will also be available online from April 25^th through May 8^th with a wider selection of titles than the fair itself.
Please go to http://www.scholastic.com/bf/mccallschool starting April 25th.

We are looking for parent volunteers to help us run the fair. Please sign up HERE if you can assist the students in making their selections.

Our “All for Books” donation program is back this year, and we hope it will allow us again to provide books to students who cannot otherwise afford them. There is a collection box in your child’s classroom, so send in your loose change!

We look forward to seeing you at the fair!

Book Fair Co-Chairs
