[ISLMA-Share] Book fair PreK, K, 1

Wed Oct 11 09:20:05 CDT 2017

Could you make (or buy) an order pamphlet like the Scholastic one that goes
home? That way students don't even have to come to the fair to choose what
they want and show parents how much money they need.

And have your assistant keep track of her hours and profits, and compare it
to last year's volunteer effort - maybe there will be enough proof that the
volunteer route is better!
