DOLPHIN DID YOU KNOW
JEFFERSON BOOK FAIR

FEBRUARY 25 - MARCH 4
Hello Parents and Students,

Our book Fair is coming Next Week! This year we will be having a Student Only Book Fair, since we still continue to have limited volunteers on campus. Our book fair will be open to students only.

There is an e-wallet option available for those who want to use it. The e-wallet will work like a gift card, you can put money on to an account and that can be spent on anything at the book fair.
 
Compared to previous years, the fair will only be open during school hours. Students can shop at the Book Fair during their regular library time. In addition to this, each grade will have at least one day to shop during recess and lunch (Monday 2/28: 1st grade; Tuesday 3/1: 3rd and 4th grade; Thursday 3/3: 5th grade; Friday 3/4: 2nd grade

We look forward to seeing your kids at the book fair!
