📚 Scholastic Book Fair – September 29 to October 3

We are excited to host our annual Scholastic Book Fair. This is always a highlight for our students and families, offering a chance to discover new books and support our school library.

Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian in order to enter the book fair. For safety reasons, children may not be left unattended after school or during parent–teacher interviews. If this happens, children will be asked to wait on the hallway bench until a parent arrives.

St. Mary’s does its best to ensure the book selection reflects our Catholic values and beliefs. However, we kindly ask parents/guardians to review purchases with their children to ensure the books chosen are the best fit for your family.

Hours: Mon. Wed. Thurs. 2:50 - 3:15 PM, Thursday 5-8 PM, Friday 9 AM to noon

Thank you for helping us make this a safe and enjoyable event for everyone!
