You are invited to the MEI Elementary Book Fair!

MEI Elementary school will be hosting their annual Christian Book Fair Wednesday June 11 – Friday June 13.
The books will be on display from 8:15am – 3:15pm each day.

All sales will result in new books for the MEI Elementary Library.
Please come and check out the large selection of items for ALL ages.

**If you are able to volunteer a little bit of your time at 8:15am or 2:15pm for 1 hour they would appreciate some help with “crowd control”. Please email meielementarypac@gmail.com if you are able to help or for more information.

Up, Up and Away!

summer reading

“Get ready for some up lifting reading and more! You will receive a fabulous free Reading Record and bookmark, as well as collect weekly stickers to keep track of all the strange reading they do. Explore this year’s SRC theme through fun free programs, contests and displays all summer. Kids who complete their Reading Record will be eligible to receive a special Summer Reading Club medal!

Registration for Summer Reading Club begins mid-June. Kids who joins SRC will be given a colourful reading record and bookmark. Visit the library regularly and collect stickers for your reading record. At the end of the summer you may receive a medal for your efforts. Enjoy cool programs and contests throughout July and August. There are lots of great prizes to be won!

Regular reading during the summer helps kids to maintain or even improve their reading and literacy skills. Studies show that voluntary reading is the number one factor in establishing good reading habits. Summer Reading Club makes reading fun and our expert staff can help kids find just the right book or magazine from among a wide variety of library materials.” — FVRL

All proceeds going directly to MEI Elementary School library, plus a tithe to send books abroad for Missions.

Our goal is to put 500 new books in the MEI library and send 100 new books abroad.

Looking for another way to get involved and support MEI Elementary Library? We have asked each teacher to make a selection of books that they would love to have in their classrooms.  Starting Tuesday morning, outside of each classroom door you will find a pocket with Wish Cards in them and you can bring this to the book fair if you would like to purchase on behalf of your family for the classroom (there are special gift tags that go inside each book).  If you have forgotten the card, not to worry – we will also have a copy of the wish list at the book fair.

 

See you at the Fair!
