Spruce Street School loves reading - and that's pretty much year round. In pre-pandemic times, we'd have not one but two events around our love for books - the Book Fair in December and the Readathon in June. This year, the Book Fair team and the Readathon team are combining efforts to put together two weeks of amazing book-related activities.
From April 25th to May 8th, we will come together as a school to read and to raise money for our students. Proceeds from the two Spruce Reads weeks will go to the general PTA fund, which means they will cover library staff&equipment.
You can already register for the Spruce Street School 2022 Readathon on Pledgestar: click here.
As for the book fair, this year it will be realized at our amazing neighborhood bookstore McNally Jackson. You can buy vouchers below, in 20 (twenty) dollars increments, to buy books at McNally Jackson when your child visits the bookstore. Buy as many as you want! Unused change will be automatically donated to the Book Fair fund, which helps us buy books for the Spruce community at large (e.g. library, classroom books, Spruce Shares). You can also add an extra voucher or two to your cart to support the Book Fair fund directly. And of course, if you want to visit the bookstore after school hours - which is an extremely pleasant activity - you are more than welcome to buy books from the Spruce selection!
Don't forget that all year round, when you use code SPRUCE at checkout if you buy on the McNally Jackson website, or mention the Spruce Street School if you shop at the store, 5% of your purchase will be rebated to the PTA general fund.
