Book Fair- Week 3

We have a bookstore arriving at STM next week and the students are very excited! Scholastic Book Fair is a fun reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school. It has a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level.

Due to the current restriction on parents and visitors attending school sites, this year’s Book Fair will be run remotely. Students will visit the Book Fair with their teachers and bring home a wish list featuring the title and price of their selections. We will have helpers to assist the younger students to record their book wish list neatly and accurately. If you would like to view the book your child has selected, Scholastic have suggested completing a google search of the book title (Scholastic Bookfairs vary, so they are unable to provide us with a catalogue).

Purchases can be made online, by following the purchasing instructions on the back of the wish list form. Please ensure your child returns their wish list to their class teacher with the 8-digit receipt number to collect their books. Final orders must be received NO LATER THAN Friday 7th August.

Book Fair dates: Tuesday 4th August- Friday 7th August

Student viewing days: Tuesday 4th & Wednesday 5th August

 

MS Readathon- August

Firstly, I wanted to say an enormous congratulations on how well the school is going with our fundraising for the MS Readathon, you are absolutely smashing it!! St Thomas More’s is among the top 5 fundraising schools in the country at the moment, absolutely amazing effort! Thank you!

The Readathon officially commences on Saturday 1st August. Students can start recording their books by logging on to their Readathon accounts. You will need to assist your child/children to log on to their accounts, as this requires the same login and password used to set up the account. Students are encouraged to record home readers, library books, books read at home and books that have been read to them at bedtime. I’ve set our school a goal to see if we can be the best school in Australia for the amount of books we read during the month of August. Let’s get to it!!
