Book Fair!
Dear Parents and Families:
Did you know that reading 20 minutes a day with your child is the best investment your family can make in their future? Research shows that children who read just 20 minutes per day score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests. Come to the Book Fair to stock up on the books your child will love reading and ignite your home reading habits.
Please mark your calendars to visit our Book Fair and discover your child’s next favorite book! 55% of the book fair profits are returned to the school to purchase books and activities for classroom and library use. Save the date! Book Fair dates: April 20, 21, 26, 27, 28 Shopping hours: 7:40-8:30 AM and 3:00-4:00 PM Special activities: FAMILY NIGHT April 28th from 4:00-8:00 PM
We will also be hosting a separate Usborne Book Fair courtesy of Kindergarten parent, Mary Schmit, during this same period with 50% of the profits coming back to our school to purchase books for the classrooms and library.

ABC Club Plant Sale!
This week begins the ABC Plant Sale. Your child will be bringing home a flyer and catalog so you can start looking at what items you would like to purchase. We will be having weekly order turn-ins, complete with prizes (similar to what we do for Cathedralfest). We are so thankful for our parent volunteer groups like ABC and Home and School, who help support us through these fun and engaging fundraisers.
Details to Note for the Plant Sale:
Plant Sale starts Tuesday, March 2.
Flyers and catalogs go home with each student for THT.
100% of the sales from this fundraiser come back to the school. In year’s past, ABC has been a huge supporter of various needs for our students and staff: field trips, curriculum/resources, classroom renovations.
Order pickup is May 5 & 6, perfect timing for Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation Week gifts.
We could all use some spring color and beauty after this winter season. ABC has made this fundraiser SUPER convenient by providing an online ordering option. Check out their website and SHARE SHARE SHARE with family and friends who are 6-feet away (or more)!

Scholastic Book Fair Dec. 7 - 16
Here are some instructions from Mrs. Turbes:
This is the Sign Up Genius for parents or grandparents to shop. The Book Fair runs from December 7-16. I will be open for shopping after school from 3:00 to 4:30 on Dec. 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16. I will also have it open on Tuesday, Dec. 8 from 8-11 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 10 from 8-noon, and Tuesday, Dec. 15th from 8-11. Students will be creating wish lists during library classes this week and will also have the opportunity to shop during school hours the week of Dec. 14-16: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904054CAEA729A0F85-book
Here is the link to the folder with all the photos of each case. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10Hrsaa7bsIAY8aowkGfHU4TH6mWRUsnj?usp=sharing
The price is on each book so all parents would need to do is let me know the title of the book(s) they want and send me the request in an email at sturbes@stcecilia.net If they want the book to be a Christmas gift, then they can email me to bag up the books and set up a pick up time with them. They can also send a check or cash for the exact amount to school with their child. They can also create an e-wallet account and load with the amount of their purchase. This is the easiest way to shop without sending money to school, and grandparents and other family members can also add on to that e-wallet. Here is a quick commercial showing how it's used: https://players.brightcove.net/1543299976/Eyj59PHsg_default/index.html?videoId=5831064261001
This is where they can set up their e-wallet to use at our fair: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/parent-how-it-works.html?fairID=
We receive the most profit if parents use the ewallet option, send a check or exact change to school with their child, or by shopping in person. Although any purchase helps our school, these three options are the best for us. If you have questions, please email Mrs. Turbes (sturbes@stcecilia.net). Happy book shopping!
