There will be a week-long Scholastic Book Fair at Lake Roosevelt Schools April 16-20.

The week will be packed with related activities, including a contest to see which elementary class wins the “coin war” to see who purchases the most in books. There’s an ice cream party tied to that.

Hours to hit the library for the purchase of books go like this: Monday and Tuesday, April 16-17, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Wednesday, April 18, 8-8; Thursday, April 19, 8-3:30; and Friday, April 20, 8-1.

The event is called “Paws for Books.”

There will be dog movie dress-up days all week long, with Monday, Air Bud; Tuesday, Scooby Doo; Wednesday, Beethoven; Thursday, Bolt; and Friday, Benji.

Wednesday night the movie “Beethoven” will play during family conference time, beginning at 6. Doors open at 5:30.

On both Wednesday and Thursday nights, during conference times, volunteers are being asked to read to students.

PTA sponsors are asking for volunteers for both the reading program and to assist with other activities. People can volunteer through the elementary office.
