Why book fairs?
*They give students the power to choose their own recreational, "fun" books that belong to them forever which promotes a passion for reading outside the classroom and raises reading scores.
*They give all students/families the opportunity to buy good books at a decent value. We live in a "book desert", we don't exactly have many bookstores near Carlisle and most of our students do not have a great deal of books at home. Many of the books in the book fair are award-winning, exclusive paperback, affordable options, and so much more than many stores carry.
*They teach life skills. Learning to shop within budget, whether cash or digital eWallet, teaches kids how to calculate costs, handle sales tax, and interact with cashiers.
*The proceeds go to buying books for the free Summer Bookmobile Program, the Angel Tree, and for use in the library systems and classrooms.
Scholastic does "Share the Fair" donation option. We encourage all to donate loose change to this cause.
What is the minimal amount of money I can send? Scholastic sends us a few boxes of sale books that are $2-5, before tax. The Scholastic eWallet is an awesome thing!

Hands-On Learning with Pumpkins!
Mrs. Wood’s 3rd Grade Science classroom was filled with pumpkin investigations and hands-on learning!
We partnered with Mrs. Gwartney from Region 7 ESC to bring science to life through a variety of pumpkin activities! Students listened to a story about pumpkins, explored and compared pumpkins of different shapes and sizes, and made predictions before measuring their height, diameter, and weight. They even investigated how many seeds were hiding inside their pumpkins!
To wrap up our day, students enjoyed a special treat—Pumpkin Pie in a Bag! 🥧
It was a fun-filled learning experience that encouraged curiosity, predictions, and scientific thinking. A big thank you to Mrs. Gwartney and Region 7 ESC for helping make science so engaging for our students!
