Dear Families,
Get Ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Jacobson Elementary during conference week! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again.
Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. Fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits, including academic success and improved mental health.
Here is everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: November 4th- 7th, 2024
Location: Jacobson Elementary Library
Schedule:
● November 4th: 7:45-8:10 and 2:00-7:00
● November 5th: 7:45-8:10 and 3:30-4:00
● November 6th: 7:45-8:10 and 3:30-4:00
● November 7th: 7:45-8:10 and 2:00-7:00

While you’re at the Jacobson Elementary Book Fair homepage, set up a Book Fair eWallet.
This is a digital account that allows your child to shop for books at the Book Fair without cash. Then, share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds. When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Book Fair.
Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
Happy Reading!
Mrs. Haley Offerman
Jacobson Elementary Principal
