Scholastic Bookfair = Parent Engagement in Action💫📚

When families join their children at the book fair, it’s more than a shopping experience or a nostalgic movement from the 90s. This strengthens the home school connection and builds a love for reading. Parents get to explore books with their children, meet staff, volunteer, and support the schools goals for literacy. The PEAs role is to be the bridge between the school, home, and local businesses. As you can see by these photos provided by PEA Luz Berna from Calverton Elementary School she and her team work together to create joyful reading moments that build stronger communities one book at a time! 📕📚💫
