Clifford was a great guest, making sure to welcome everyone to the book fair and encouraging us to reach our goal of selling 225 books. Here's Clifford with one of the book fair flyers displaying the exciting selection of Scholastic books available at the fair.
As we got closer to our goal Clifford encouraged us to keep reading because he knows "that every reader is a Star!!"
Our big final push at meeting our goal was on the evening our of St. Monica Fine Arts Gala. Parents and their children were here for a lovely evening of music and song. Our students shone brightly this evening and we all enjoyed the beautiful performance!
Afterwards, the book fair was open for an hour and we sold many books to our Gala guests. At the end of the evening we were only a book or two short of our goal! Yippee! A special thanks to all our Grade 9 (and one Grade 8) book fair assistants who volunteered at the book fair that evening and all week.
The next morning, and the final day of our book fair, we continued to encourage everyone at the school to reach our goal. And no surprise, considering the wonderful students and staff we have at our school, it only took until 8:20 in the morning for us to reach our goal of selling 225 books! We did it!!! And not only that, for the second year in a row we blew away our book fair goal and exceeded the number by quite a bit. Our final number was 262 books sold!!
St. Monica School - you should be proud of yourself!!! Not only are we great readers, but we are amazing STARS!!!
Thanks to everyone who supported the St. Monica School December Book Fair!!! And thanks to Clifford for being our fair mascot this December!
Be sure to remember: "Every reader is a Star!!!"
