Fundraising Activities at AFS

Scholastic Book Fairs

One of the ways we get children and the community excited about reading at AFS is by hosting regular Scholastic Book Fairs. Scholastic Canada is one of the country's leading publishers and distributors of children's books and educational materials in both official languages. Scholastic Book Fairs bring the latest and greatest children's books right to our school! Every book purchased at a Scholastic Book Fair helps put great new books and teachers' resources in our students' classrooms and our school's own library.

Book Fairs are also a great time for parents to volunteer and help us with running this busy event. We encourage you to contact our office if you are able to help. Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

More information on guidelines for school-based fundraising is available on the CBE website.
