Although we can’t have our usual in-school book fair this year (and we really miss you all!), we still wanted to celebrate reading and support our school library — so we have set up an online book fair through Children’s Book Store, and we’d love for everyone to visit our site!:
https://www.childrensbookstore.com/welcome/lincoln-eliot-elementary-school/
Make sure you check out the teacher and library wish lists — they’re right below the intro text. (Clicking on “Wishlists” at the top will take you to a page to make your own wishlist — which you can do and send to friends and family, if you like!). Also, if you scroll down the main site, you can find a book list of Principal Morrissey’s favorites and lists of recommendations from our wonderful new librarian, Ms. Selwyn!
All purchases will be shipped directly to your home, and for the next two weeks, 30% of the profit will go to our school. (You can also continue shopping all year long; the rest of the year we get 15%!) Children’s Book Store recommends shopping early and choosing “UPS” at checkout if you hope to receive your books by Christmas, but as with all shipping this year, they can’t make any guarantees. But books are wonderful to get no matter when, right?
If you need some suggestions (or would like to share your favorite books!), don’t forget we have our L-E book recommendation Padlets:
And keep your eyes on your inbox for an invitation to a Zoom storytime hangout in the next couple of weeks!
Please let us know (at secretary@lepto.org) if you have any questions! Happy reading!
