Message from the NMS PTSA

Important Message from the PTSA about Book Fair During Parent/Teacher Conferences


Dear Families:

Our Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon. We hope you can visit the Fair during Parent/Teacher Conferences on Thursday 3/21 6-8:30 and Tuesday 3/26 4-6:30.

All students will have an opportunity to visit the book fair during SSR periods the week of 3/18-3/22.  ELA teachers will inform students of their assigned day.  Cash, check and debit/credit cards are accepted.

This year, we have a new opportunity to bring more books to our students. We call it One for Books.

Donate just $1 and sign the Book Slip below with your name or child’s name so we can display it at our Book Fair.  Clusters of students will compete to see who can raise the most money.

All of the money you give goes directly to purchase books for our school. We will use it to help enhance classroom libraries.

Scholastic Book Fairs will match the One for Books dollars you raise with a donation of up to a million books to three non-profit programs devoted to improving reading skills among children: Kids in Distressed Situations, National Center for Family Literacy, and Toys for Tots.

Please send your dollar and signed paper Book Slip back to school with your child. Also look for the One for Books displays at local businesses. Thank them for their support ... and on behalf of the students of John T. Nichols Jr. Middle School, THANK YOU!

Book Fair Chairperson,
Rose Borges
