It's Book Fair Time


The annual WCFS Book Fair is on, and T. Ruth has once again collected extensive selections in both children's and adult categories that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Students began visiting the Book Fair today with their classes and filling out their "wish lists" of the books they most wish to purchase. These lists are handy for holiday shopping, but are not meant to be restrictive or definitive in any way.

Parents are welcome to shop at the Book Fair any time that it is open (see below). They may choose from the wish list, make new selections for their children, and should definitely peruse the collection of adult fiction titles. There are a number of books related to this year's All-School Unit theme - "A Healthy Mind, Body and Spirit" - as well as Quakerism, Islam and peace.''

T. Ruth also has a nice selection of books set aside that may be purchased as a donation to the school. This is a very personal and much appreciated way to support our library and grow our wonderful collection of literature.

The Book Fair is held in the Activities Building, and is open on November 20th, 21st, 24th and 25th from 8:30 am to 6 pm, and on November 23rd after Meeting for Worship (noon). On Wednesday, November 26th, the Fair will be open for Grandparents' Day, from 8:30 am to noon.
