Westside Elementary School will have its annual Book Fair, Nov. 16-18, at the West Side School Library, 1100 5th St. SW, Sidney. The Book Fair will be open during regular school hours, as well as from 3-6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, and 3-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17. The fair ends at 10 a.m. Friday.
Profit from the Book Fair will go to the West Side Playground Equipment Fund.
This reading event will offer students, parents and teachers the opportunity to see the latest works by popular authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults. Along with winners of state and national awards, the Book Fair will present hundreds of titles selected to excite and motivate students to become lifelong readers. Special attention is given to finding books that will appeal to the emergent, the experienced and the reluctant reader.
All parents of kindergarten, preschool and younger children are invited to attend, as there will be many selections just right for those age levels, too.
Ron and Barb Scherry, well-known educators in elementary education in Montana before taking over Great Northern Book Company, will be doing book talks with students Wednesday morning, and will be available throughout the Book Fair to give advice on reading selections.
For more information, contact librarian Dawn Greenwood at West Side Elementary School, 433-5501 ext. 105.
