I Want to Volunteer! »

What It Is

The Book Fair is an annual PTO fundraiser held in the Large Group Room at the end of October. We work with an independent bookseller to provide an array of books to appeal to all readers. All purchases are completely voluntary. Last year the PTO raised over $2,000 to benefit VFES!

How It Works

Each class will have a chance to visit the Book Fair. Your child will create his/her own wish list. The list is sent home, and you can either identify the books they wish to purchase and return the wish list with payment, or you can visit the Book Fair in person during the times listed above. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. There is also an opportunity to purchase books for the teachers and their classrooms.

But Wait. There\’s More!

We need your help to make it a success! You can help the children preview the books during their class visit, or help with the set up or tear down. Feel free to bring your younger children with you when you volunteer. No need for a babysitter!

  • Sign up to volunteer here.
  • Questions? Contact Heather Bittenbender and Amanda Ivory, Coordinators.
