MEDIA RELEASE

Topics and titles that will capture the imagination of middle school students – and hopefully nurture a love of reading – will be among the featured books offered during a Scholastic Book Fair at Waimea Middle Public Conversion Charter School Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 21-22, 2011.

The Book Fair is timed to coincide with Waimea Middle School’s annual student-led family-teacher conferences so that the hours of the book sale will run parallel with family conference: Noon to 6 p.m., Mon., Nov. 21, and then from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tues., Nov. 22, 2011.

Everyone in the community is invited to check out the Book Fair, which will provide a good opportunity to secure books suited to middle school interests and reading skills, and that are also reasonably priced and make perfect holiday gifts.

The sale is being sponsored by the WMS English Department. Funds raised from the Book Fair will help the school expand its classroom libraries and novel sets to provide enticing and enriching reading options for students.

For the Book Fair, the school can accept cash, checks and four major credit cards.
