MLE Book Fair and Unity Day

 

MLE Book Fair
Maple Lake Elementary School hosted a Scholastic Book Fair beginning on October 8 and ending October 15. The Online Book Fair will continue thru October 23. Visit the school's Book Fair homepage at:    http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/MLEL  
The Book Fair offers specially-priced books and educational products, including popular series, award-winning titles, new releases, adult bestsellers, and other great reads from more than 100 publishers. Book Fair customers may help the school, building classroom libraries by purchasing books through the Classroom Wish List program for teachers.  In addition, the Book Fair will feature the All for Books program, where kids and community members donate money to purchase books from the Book Fair for students who can't afford to buy a book. Scholastic matches these monetary donations with a donation of up to one million books, which go to two national non-profit organizations dedicated to helping children, and families – "Kids in Need Foundation" and "Kids in Distresses Situations, Inc."  40% – 50% of the books sold at the Book Fair go back to the school and will be used to purchase books for the Media Center/Library.  The Book Fair also has a new App designed to help you find books for your child.  Use the app to search thousands of titles and get to know the books before you visit the fair to find a right-fit book in a snap!  It will give reading levels, age and grade levels, book summaries and much more.  For more information, visit:   scholastic.com/apps/bookfairs

Unity Day for Bully
Prevention is Oct. 22
October is National Bullying Prevention Month.  Bullying Prevention
is something in which everyone can play an important role. Every year we see more and more communities unite to take action so that students who are bullied know there is support available.
We are asking the Maple Lake community to help us take action and show your true colors by wearing orange on Wed., Oct. 22nd, for UNITY DAY.
Millions of students use smartphones and tablet computers to access the internet. Now they can visit mobile-friendly versions of PACER’S two popular websites for kids: PACERKidsAgainstBullying.org and PACERTeensAgainstBullying.org
