A promotional poster states, "Help grant book wishes - one classroom at a time." This is part of the  Classroom Wish List. You can help add new books to your child's classroom by purchasing a book on the wish list. The cashier will provide a bookplate to personalize and attach to the inside of the book.

Come out and help the school reach the book fair goal of $3000. Every purchase counts.
