The Scholastic Book Fair will start next Friday 3/24 and go through Friday 3/31. The parent night (hotdog supper) will be Thursday 3/30. 

Each grade level is asked to send in the following:

Kindergarten-            Hotdogs (300)

1^st grade- Some money for chili and slaw, A few bottles of ketchup, Mayonnaise, relish,  and mustard, 200 plates, A couple of packs of napkins and Dum Dums           

2^nd grade - Buns (300) (wait until the week of to send them in so that they will be fresh)

3^rd grade- Individual chips (300)

4^th  grade- Individual desserts (300)

5^th grade- About 200 can soda (diet and regular)

We have plenty of water  and some soda thanks to the PTT and leftovers from the fall festivalJ

 

***If some has a gas grill and a way to get it here to cook hot dogs that is needed as well.

 

If you have some small items (like happy meal toys ) that I could use for the prize box (the kids love winning a prize with the dum dum tree) if you could donate those as well.

If you can volunteer your time please email wstewart@rivermill-academy.org and I will put you on the schedule.  If you send in food items- your child’s teacher will get them to the media center. Please put your child’s name on the items so that I can give you volunteer credit.  You get a volunteer hour for each item sent in.

 

Thank you so much for making this bookfair a success every year! Last year we received over $5700.00 worth of books from Scholastic!!
