Charles Dickens Book Fair – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We are still in need of Volunteers for WEDNESDAY, December 6 for the Dickens Book Fair! 

BOOK FAIR at the Dickens Main School - December 6 / 7 / 8

Due to the teacher shortage, Miranda, our teacher librarian at Dickens Main can only open the Library 3 days a week. The library is closed two days a week, as she was assigned to assist with prep work instead.      

It's therefore up to Dickens PARENTS & GUARDIANS to run the BOOK FAIR this December!

The Book Fair brings in much needed resources for the school library ($2,000 per fair to buy new books) so we are pulling together to run the Fair with Volunteers.

If you are able to volunteer on Wednesday, December 6 it would be MOST appreciated!

We need:

• 4 people from 1:45pm to 4pm
• 1 person from 4 to 6pm
• 1 person from 4:15 to 6:15pm 

Sign up to volunteer, by emailing Christy at christy@ctpost.ca

PLEASE also forward this message to any Dickens Parents/Guardians who may also be able to help.

Thanks very much in advance!
