With the theme of Bookaneer, Where Books are the Treasure, our library will be transformed into a pirate ship with decorations from the Troy High National Art Honor Society students. Your child will be receiving a parent letter and a sneak peek pamphlet about the hot items at the book fair. Or, you can also see the letter here. Check the schedule to see which day your child will be attending the fair. use the scholastic book fair appBe sure to load the book fair app on your phone or on your child's iPad! This free app will give you access to videos and podcasts about the books that will be at the fair, along with summaries, reading levels, and prices.

You can order directly from the app OR send money with them to make a purchase the next day at school. Orders from the app are shipped free to school in 2-3 weeks. You can also order from our online bookfair November 27-December 10, which has even more options available for purchase! Shipping is free, and your purchases will arrive at school in 2-3 weeks.
