Book Fair!

This week AFS holds its annual Book Fair, October 16-18. Parents are welcome to the preview Thursday morning with coffee and refreshments at 8:00 am.

A wide range of wonderful books will be available for purchase.  The books are geared toward all ages in our community including adults!

Lower School students will engage in some special Book Fair related activities.


Students in the Early Childhood classrooms will be entertained by musician Peter Moses.  The EC students will not be visiting the Book Fair as a class, but families are encouraged to visit the Book Fair with their children at the end of the day on Thursday or Friday or at any time on Saturday. 

Students in grades K-4 will hear from author/illustrator Brian Pinkney as well as visiting the Book Fair with their class.  If you would like your K-4 student to be able to purchase a book at the Book Fair, please send in money with your child in an envelop marked with your child's name on the day their class will be visiting the Book Fair.

On Saturday, Book Fair activities for families include:
