MESSAGE FROM MS. CRAVEN
Thank for your support of the book fair!
Dear Bassett Families,
Thank you to everyone who helped make Bassett's book fair a huge success again this year. Your purchases provide approximately 200,000 reading minutes with almost 1,000 books! All profit monies benefit the students at Bassett by helping with the purchase of new library books and resources, reading programs, and literacy events.
I'd like to thank the Bassett PTA for providing books for classroom libraries and rewarding summer reading participants with book fair coupons. Their generosity contributed over $1,200 to our sales, including 5 new books for our school library!
Special thanks to the following volunteers who helped out by setting up the fair, helping students make wish lists, and tearing down the fair at the end. I appreciate each and every one of you!
