Time/Date: The Spring Oak School Book Fair begins Tuesday, May 5 at 9am and wraps up on Wednesday, May 6, at 2pm. 

 
Volunteers Needed: Sign-Up Here!
 
3 Ways Parents and Students can buy books: 
1) Students can bring money with them on their class's designated book fair day. 
Note: Parents can ask teachers for the day/time that each class will visit the book fair in the library OR parents can view the sign up genius for specific class visit dates/times. Preschoolers can shop with parents or an "adult sidekick" at their designated times, too. 
2) Parents and students can stop in after school on Tuesday to browse. Note that this fair coincides with the choir concert on Tuesday afternoon, so that is a great opportunity to stop in after school! 
 
3) Buy online anytime at the book fair link here!
 
Forms of Payment: Cash, Credit Cards and apple pay/"tap to pay" all accepted! No checks please :) 
 
Why buy at the bookfair? All sales are tax-free and benefit Oak School!!

Why buy through the PTO School Supplies EPI site? THREE reasons: 
 
1) Save Time and Money! Buying bundled supplies through the PTO sale is more economical than purchasing piecemeal, and MUCH easier than searching for the specific supply list items requested by our teachers. 
 
2) Supplies are delivered directly to each student's classroom! No need for kiddos to lug big bags of supplies on their 1st day! EPI School Supply kits are delivered directly to your child's classroom at Oak before their 1st day of school, so it is waiting for them when they arrive on Day 1 in August. 
 
3) You're giving back! A portion of each sale goes directly to the Oak PTO.
