what are Book Fairs?

MME PTA runs two book fairs each year; one during fall conference week and one during spring conference week. These book fairs require parent volunteers to set up and sell books, and the company we use (Scholastic or Literati) donates a portion of their proceeds back to our PTA.

Why do we have book fairs?

The money raised from these fairs is directly used to buy books for our school library, classroom libraries, or for students who otherwise could not buy a book at the fair. It’s fun fundraiser if you like to buy books anyway- this is a way to help supply your school with good books, too.

Why should I Participate?

These are a wonderful way to raise money for the school library and reading department while encouraging a love of reading in our students.  The students look forward to seeing the library transformed into the book fair theme each time and usually can’t wait to spend time at the fair during lunch and after school.  We hope you and your child will shop for friends and family – books make great Holiday & Birthday gifts – and you can support your child’s classroom by purchasing a book hand-selected by their teacher to enhance their classroom library.

Thank you for supporting MME!
