Parent Night November 19th
Greetings Sacred Heart
Families:
Join us in sharing the love of reading with our students at Sacred Heart
Catholic School! The website for our book fair is
http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/shcsmedford. The Scholastic
Book Fair runs from Nov 18-Nov 25. It’s a great way to connect your kids
with books they want to read!
All SHCS classes will visit the fair either Wednesday, Nov 18th or
Thursday, Nov 19th.
We are asking families to:
• Spend some time with your child looking at the attached Book List.
• Visit our Fair to make your selections in person or complete the Book
List order form and send back to our school.
• Participate in the events listed below as much as possible.
Klutz® Build-a-Book Student Event - Create Your Own
Masterpiece
Drop your child at the cafeteria to create their own Klutz Build-a-Book on
Thursday, Nov. 19th from 6 - 8 pm. Volunteers will be in the cafeteria to
help children with their books. Surprise, Surprise…or choose to start the
book with your child and then wander upstairs to the Parent Event
described below.
Parent Night – Get to Know Other Sacred Heart
Parents
We have planned a Parent only event in conjunction with the child event on
Thursday, Nov. 19th from 6 – 8 pm that allows you to meet other parents,
taste and purchase local Valley View wines, nibble on appetizers, and shop
the Book Fair! We will have your child’s wish list for holiday shopping!
Everyone’s invited! Take your kids to the Klutz Build-a-Book event
(cafeteria) or the daycare.
Classroom Wish List - Build Better Classroom
Libraries
Stop by the Classroom Wish List display while visiting our Book Fair. We
are busy building up each classroom library and adding new titles. Help
add books to our classroom shelves by purchasing books and donating them
to your child’s class. Our school’s Classroom Wish List goal is to help
teachers build their classroom libraries with new books to read.
One for Books - Put More Books in Students’ Hands
This year we have a new opportunity to bring more books to a local
organization that is constantly opening new doors for Jackson County
students. Kids Unlimited has accepted our donation for books bought
through the One for Books program. This year we are hosting a competition
between classes to see who can bring in the most loose change! Find the
pennies, dimes, and nickels in the drawers, under the couch cushions, etc.
to help buy books for this organization. You will be amazed at what you
find. The other way to participate is to donate a $1 and sign a Book Slip
with your name or your child’s name so we can display it at our Book Fair.
All of the money collected goes directly to purchasing more books for Kids
Unlimited.
Literacy - Get Involved and Read Together
Studies show that students who read excel in school as well as
life. Reports also reveal that when parents are involved with their
child’s education, students earn better grades and have a more positive
attitude about school. What better way to connect with your child in these
two areas than at a Scholastic Book Fair? Partner with us in encouraging
the joy of reading while spending time at SHCS.
We appreciate your dedication to creating lifelong readers. See you at our
Book Fair!
