The children and teachers would like to thank all of our families who support our Scholastic Book Club. We feel very fortunate.
It’s a win–win all round, every time – a great way to promote the development of reading skills and the enjoyment and interest in reading, both at home and at school.
Over the course of a year, the PTA organises five opportunities for families to order books through the Scholastic Book Club scheme (Thank you Bonita!) In each catalogue, there is a great selection of top quality books to buy… and there are even more to choose from on-line! Every book purchased earns free Bonus Point Reward Dollars for the school.
This month, families have raised $513 reward dollars. Added to the $407 in September and $708 in December, that’s a total of $1,628 so far this year that the school has, and is using to spend on books and educational supplies to help benefit your child’s learning.
Each term, one of the reward totals is divided equally between our classes for the children and teacher to order books specifically for their classroom library and topics. One of the reward totals is allocated to the school library and another to the school leadership team to spend on areas of development.
