· A Book Fair is the most loved and best known
venue for motivating kids to read MORE! And, WE all know that successful school-wide
events, especially book fairs, are always group efforts!
·
This year’s overwhelming generosity, tireless
efforts, and support, by the Sherwood Forest PTA, Students and Staff, made it
possible for 700 children and 40 classrooms to receive books and school
supplies!
·
In addition, the school raised over 2,000
dollars to support the Scholastic “ALL FOR BOOKS” Program—a non-profit
organization dedicated to helping children, families and teachers all over the
world acquire books and educational resources.
·
This year’s
Scholastic Book Fair theme: “DINO-MITE…Stomp,
Chomp, and READ!” was so much fun to bring to life!
o
The Media Center was transformed into Jurassic
Park!
o
Kindergarteners enjoyed the game, “Pin the tail
on T-Rex”.
o
Clifford the Big Red Dog made visits to
classrooms delivering books!
o
Our school’s community partners, Forsyth County
Public Library and Winston-Salem DASH
Baseball Team Mascot, Bolt, joined us to celebrate reading during our Family
Literacy Night Event (Feb. 7th)
o
Even the Sherwood Forest Principal Jacob Lowther
got involved in promoting this year’s book fair theme by appearing on the
school’s morning news show wearing a light-up dinosaur bike helmet! The bike
helmet was raffled-off later that night at Sherwood’s 2nd Annual
Daddy & Daughter Dance (Feb. 1).
