Partners in Education
NZPTA is pleased to be able to work with Scholastic as a 'partner in education' through their Gold Sponsorship in 2008.
Literacy is arguably the most important skill that children need to learn,
and there is so much that parents can do to support their child's reading and writing.
Through Book Clubs and Book Fairs in schools, Scholastic helps to bring children and books together.

What Is A Book Fair?
A Scholastic Book Fair
is a special event that enables parents and children
to purchase quality books at reasonable prices, helping their school raise
funds for library books, special projects, or classroom materials.
Fairs are conducted at early childhood centres, primary, and intermediate schools,
under the direction of the PTA, librarian, or teachers.
The Book Fair comes complete in easy-to-move bookcases or prepacked cartons.
There are seasonal and timely table assortments, table signs, displays, table covers,
and a planning kit box full of promotional materials.

Why host a Book Fair?
The primary motivation for schools to have Book Fairs is to make
quality books available to their students and stimulate interest in reading.
It's also an incredible way to raise funds to purchase books, supplies, and
equipment. Scholastic Book Fairs offers generous reward options.
What does it cost?
There is no out-of-pocket expense to conduct a Scholastic Book Fair.
Your Fair is delivered free to your school, and picked up again when it's over.
You'll complete a financial form at the end of your Fair and return it to Scholastic.
It's that simple!
