The Book Fair Is Coming!

PS 217 BOGO Scholastic Book Fair           05/21 – 02/25

Get ready for another exciting book shopping experience right in our own PS 217 Library. For the first time at PS 217 we are bringing you a BOGO Scholastic Book Fair? Buy one, get one … who doesn’t like that? Many times we’ve heard the question: “Can we get anything for free?” and this time we can smile back and answer “Yes, you buy one (book), you get one free (same or less value)!” Excellent value for your dollars, this fair is designed to get books in the hands of our children for the long summer break! It is also a reminder that they should never stop reading during summer, as much as they will love to be enjoying the playgrounds, the pools, the beaches, the camps, the trips and so much more.

Each class will be scheduled to come to the Book Fair with their teacher, so please keep an eye on any announcement going home regarding the exact day and time.

While there will be no online shopping opportunity this time, you can still count on the relatively NEW and convenient payment feature called E-Wallet. If you fear that your child might lose the cash you hand them on the day of their classroom visit to the fair, you can set up an account and have funds immediately available for your child to shop the Book Fair. Safe and secure. To get started, visit our online PS 217 Scholastic Book Fair homepage. The E-wallet will be available between 5/7 – 5/25.

Families will also have opportunities to visit us at the fair. The open time for families will be announced soon. Questions about the Book Fair? Contact Mara Dubovici (LDubovici@schools.nyc.gov / 718.434.6960 x1)
