Thank you for supporting reading at Waubesa by purchasing books and donating at our Fall book fair!
We have two goals for our book fairs:
1) Increase students' reading by providing an opportunity to self select books of interest.
2) Raise funds:
to purchase books for our Bookroom and Literacy Interventions
to help pay for author visits or special reading events
to purchase items for the library such as furniture
Students practice using book summaries, book trailers and reviews to choose books of interest.
Open Destiny to:
See new book arrivals.
Fill out a Book Rave.
Suggest books to get for our library.
Use and create collections.
