Book Fair Wrap-up

This picture is small way to show my tremendous gratitude to everyone who helped with Book Fair last week. I had to be out and could not attend the big week. When I realized it could be left in very capable hands, my concerns vanished and I said goodbye to worries about how it was going. I did miss seeing all the excited faces and greeting families, but knew that the Book Fair was in good hands.


There is no way to say "thank you" enough times to Lisa Huzyk and Tami Gebelein who organized, assembled, re-ordered, reminded, and did a myriad of tasks associated with Book Fair week. These two ladies stepped in and quickly took care of everything. They even cleaned up and put everything away! Tami was a wizard at counting money and helped me figure out our sales (counting lots of money is not my strength). Thank you, Lisa and Tami!

Besides these two PTO leaders, there were so many volunteers that helped make it all work. Big thanks go to all who helped students shop, straightened up stock, and made the Book Fair a success.

And it was a big success with total sales over $5, 155! Even though Scholastic cut profit margins this year, we still made $1288 to spend on resources for students and staff at our school. This money, put into the library SAF account, is crucial for the extras beyond budgeted items. Everyone who shopped or supported the Book Fair in any way should give themselves a big pat on the back. Once again, Thanks!
