Shop the Book Fair 10/9-10/17
Every class will visit the book fair during their regularly scheduled Media resource time. There are two family night options (the 10/9 Mason Voyage Night & 10/17 Trunk or Treat Night). You may attend the book fair with your child during their scheduled time (contact your child’s teacher). Academic time is important to us: we will not pull students from class to shop the Book Fair. Please pay for the Book Fair by creating an eWallet. It is the safest way to fund your child’s shopping! Click here to create an eWallet for your child today.
Don’t forget to check out our Share the Fair page, which helps put books directly into the hands of our students! Donate today!
⚠️ Important reminder: Tax is not included in the price of the books, so please make sure your child has enough to cover tax when shopping.
💳 Every student who creates an eWallet will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card! 🎉
We are in need of VOLUNTEERS to help with Book Fair! Volunteers can earn a discount!

5th Grade Spring Book Study:
Holes by Louis Sachar
HOLES Novel Study:
Do people naturally have “good luck” or “bad luck”? Are some people just born lucky? Do you think Stanley inherited his family’s bad luck or that “luck” is just our perception?
We are starting a new Novel study. We will be reading Holes by Louis Sachar. If you would like to order your own book, it is $6.99 on Amazon. We are trying to get some class sets from other schools. We will watch the movie after testing.
5th Grade Winter Book Study: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
Tuck Everlasting Novel Study:
If you could drink from the fountain or immortality, would you? Why or why not?
In the past, many students have liked to purchase their own copy of the novel so that they could write in it, highlight, underline, etc. If you would like to purchase the book for your child, there is a link to the book below. It is available at many locations like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Scholastic. We will have copies for students to use, but I know many like to have their own copy. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions! Tuck Everlasting
