What could be better than snuggling up with a new book on a cold winter’s day? Blair Road Scholastic Book Fair: February 6th, 7th and 8th If your special student is in the mood for something new to read, Blair Road’s Scholastic Book Fair is just around the corner to help out. The fair is coming to Blair Road just before Valentine’s Day. Students will have the opportunity to browse Scholastic’s selection of quality fiction and non-fiction books and make a purchase if they like. We will have student and family (parents to enter) draws for free prizes ($25 in books for the
family and $25 for the student’s classroom). The book fair is both a fun event and a great fund-raiser. Every $10 that is spent at the fair provides returns of up to $6 in product profit. Fair profits will be used to purchase new library books. After the fair is over, all students enjoy borrowing these new books and everyone benefits! We are excited about the book fair and encourage your entire family to participate. The fair will have extended hours for families before school starts on Tues. Feb. 7th and Wed. Feb.8th.  If you prefer,
you are very welcome to drop into the fair and help your child with their purchase during school hours. Please provide your own (cloth preferable) bag to carry home your book fair purchases. Â Hope to see you at the fair! Â Book Fair Schedule Â

“Support Our Fundraiser! As a way to target the problem of lost belongings and a large lost and found closet, Blair Road is fundraising with Mabel's Labels, a company with all types of labels that are colourful, indestructible, easy-to-use and fun! Iron-Ons, Stickies, Bag Tags, Allergy Alert labels & more! Personalize your labels with names, nicknames, initials - whatever you choose. Cool icons help even little ones identify their own belongings. Dishwasher, microwave, laundry & kid tested! Dispatched within 24 hours! “About Mabel’s Labels! We are moms who were frustrated by the amount of stuff that left our houses, never to return. After lots of research and testing we created the perfect fun, durable labels for the stuff kids lose! Our sticky labels and clothing labels, which are dishwasher, microwave and laundry safe, are not only practical, but also designed to be very special to each child. The labels are customized with a child’s name, favourite mix of colours and an icon (animal, symbol, etc.). We have also expanded our product line to include personalized stationery products, ID wristbands and household labels.” We strive to continuously design innovative labels for babies, kids and grown-ups alike. You’ll be amazed at what you can label!”
