Scholastic Book Fair This Week

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Cherry Chase from September 25th to September 29th, from 11:30am to 3:30pm. This exciting event helps support our school library as well as the classroom libraries.

Your help is important to make the book fair a success. We need your help setting up and operating the cash registers and assisting students and families. We will also need your help taking everything down at the end. Please sign up here to volunteer!

To avoid sending cash with your child, you can set up an e-wallet so they can make cashless purchases at recess or when their class visits.

Questions? Contact school librarian Mrs. Parmar at sunita.parmar@sesd.org.

Do you know that if your student takes multiple photos to put together as a collage, it qualifies as a visual art entry?

Do you know that your student can also submit a 3D visual artwork such as carpentry, ceramic or even jewelry? Just don’t forget to take 3 photos with a combination of angles for the 3D artwork.
