Please come to Eastvalley’s Fall Book Fair during Conference week.  Our Book Fair will be from Monday, October 18th to Thursday, October 21st.  The hours will be Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.  We will extend our hours Tuesday night from 3:30 to 7:00 PM.  The Book Fair is one of the Media Center’s biggest fundraisers.  Historically, Eastvalley receives an average of 45% of the total sales.  The proceeds of the sale go to purchase new books, DVDs, Accelerated Reading tests, and items to improve the Media Center.  Your purchases make such a positive impact on the students and staff at Eastvalley!  The Book Fair is a wonderful opportunity to purchase books for family, teachers and friends while supporting Eastvalley’s Media Center.
