Dear St. Peter's Families,
A message about all things books and reading today - our PTA Book Fair was originally scheduled to begin today; however, because we cannot host an in-person Book Fair, our Book Fair is going online!
Our PTA has some fun ideas moving forward, including having the typical Book Fair candy guess, so stay tuned, as we work out those details! The Book Fair offers a great opportunity to add books to our home libraries, especially during this time of sheltering in place. Book Fair profits provide our annual subscriptions to
Scholastic News
magazines, and have helped us put standing desks, wiggle stools, and soft mushroom seats in classrooms. We have also added some robots and tinker items to our Learning Lab with Scholastic profits, as well as books to teachers' classroom libraries via wish lists. Thank you for supporting our Book Fairs!
There are a plethora of free resources for education right now; in fact, as I was finishing up this message, I received an email with this complimentary online reading resource from Renaissance Learning (Accelerated Reader's parent company). The unique link for all of our Diocesan schools appears here:
- Student username: myon
- Student password: read
In addition, Ms. Jankowski shared the announcement below from audible just a short while ago, another great opportunity for free reading experiences for children!
Of course, we hope you will shop via our online Book Fair - it would be fun for your children to receive some books in the mail!
Stay well, Angie Meyer
