Thank you Scholastic Book Fair Thank you to all the wonderful families that supported our Kingdom of Books Book Fair. It was a huge success with the children getting excited about reading all the fabulous books we had on offer. With your support, we raised $897.00 in Scholastic rewards to enhance our library resources. Giving the children access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books motivates them to read more, and like most acquired skills, the more children practice reading, the better they will achieve. Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising children as readers opens them up to a world of opportunity and imagination.
