Clara Peterson PIT Crew is hosting an online Book Fair the week of March 15-19th. Your student may have brought home a flier advertising the upcoming book fair. This flier contains a link to browse through the book fair and purchase books if you wish to do so. The code on the front of the flier is NOT VALID. All students will receive a book curtesy of the PBL Education Foundation, however teachers will help students to choose this book at school. The code that was on the fliers can not be used for purchases made at home, or school.
If you have any questions about our book fair, please contact your child's teacher or call the Clara Peterson office.
