Happy New Year! From September to December 2024, over 14,000 books were checked out from the GVS Library! Amazing! That is around 3500 books a month or 875 books a week or 125 books a day! One book borrower has read 533 books this school year and the one classroom has read over 2395 books! Way to Read Pirates! Thank you 🙂
Speaking of books, are you ready to discover more stories? If so, read this! The Scholastic Book Fair is returning to GVS, in-person, Jan. 28 – 30, 2025! Our theme is the “Dino-mite, Stomp, Chomp & Read! Book Fair”. It’s the ultimate sale event with books and boutique items such as pencils, erasers, posters and more for sale. There are also contests and prize draws. Additionally, a portion of the sales benefits our school. It’s the best way to raise funds while encouraging kids to read. Scholastic book Fair flyers and information will be sent home in January, after the break:
Book Fair Dates: January 28-30, 2025 Location: GVS Library
Family Night Event: Wednesday, January 29th from 4:00 – 7:00 pm. Location: GVS Library
During the book fair, we will accept debit and credit cards, cash and cheques (made payable to GVS). Visit the book fair on Family Night for a chance to win $25 in books for your home library and your students’ classroom library. Soon you can visit the Scholastic Book Fairs website to read reviews of the Featured Books, watch book trailers and author videos and more. If you are interested in volunteering to help or learning more about our Scholastic Book Fair, please contact Mrs. T. Friesen (librarian) at 204-434-6415 or by email tfriesen@hsd.ca.
Thank you again, for helping make our students lifelong readers – we couldn’t do it without your participation and support.
