Vashon PTO is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair at Chautauqua! The book fair will run from Monday, September 18 to Friday, September 22.
Students will have a chance to visit the book fair during their scheduled library time and the fair will also be open from 9am-9:30am and 3:50pm-4:30pm Monday through Thursday and 10:30-11 and 3:50-4:30 on Friday.
Visit our book fair website at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/chautauqua for more information on the fair and -- most importantly -- how to set up an e-wallet for your child! E-wallet is an easy way to load money that can be spent at the book fair into an account that children can use to purchase their favorite books. Your teachers will be setting up their own e-wallets as well, which is a great way to contribute to your child's classroom library.
A few important notes about the fair:
- During the fair, we will be participating in Scholastic's All For Books program, which helps to collect funds that will be distributed directly into our school community to support equity. Please note that all purchases made during the book fair will be rounded up to the nearest dollar to support this initiative.
-Shopping at the book fair is a great way to learn about the realities of tax! It can be a tricky lesson to learn, and we'll support students at the fair and greatly appreciate any priming you can give your little shoppers at home! It's the perfect opportunity to discuss what tax is and how it will affect their buying power at the fair.

We collect Thriftway and IGA receipts from our Chautauqua families that we then tally up and turn in to Thriftway and IGA for a generous donation of 1% of the total sales from those receipts. It's a great way to support Vashon PTO just by doing your normal shopping.
Drop them off at the Orca Pod (the structure just inside the front doors of the school with the daily joke, ball of yarn, etc.) where you will find a wooden box with a label for the Thriftway receipt program.
Find out available volunteer openings! Both on-going commitments and one-time spots are needed.
Come to a PTO meeting or bring your kids to one of Vashon PTO's fun events!

THE BENEFITS OF AN ACTIVE PTO
Joining the PTO keeps families informed about their child's school life and allows them to contribute to their child's learning experience. The Vashon PTO offers an opportunity for parents to be involved in their child's education and community. It also creates a sense of community by connecting parents with one another. The Vashon PTO hosts speakers teach families about communication, parenting skills, understanding their child's learning style, community resources, and building strong parent-child relationships.
The Vashon PTO strives to ensure that all students have equitable access to school events and activities. To support students and their families, the PTO works behind the scenes to ensure that all students have access to yearbooks, activities and spirit wear.
