We had a wonderful time at Family Reading Night

Thank you SCES Community for coming out to our Family Reading Night event. We had over 200 families attend in addition to our wonderful staff, parent volunteers, and service-oriented SSIMS students. There was even a surprise appearance from the SCES Salamander! The 'Let's Read S'more' themed evening allowed participants to build community, do a bit of reading, make bookmarks, participate in a word scavenger hunt, and have some after-hours fun at school. We are grateful to everyone who helped to make this event happen, with special appreciation for all the energetic staff who attended, caregivers who spontaneously jumped in to help wherever needed, the gracious Building Services team, and event sponsor Bonjour Books. We hope that our young readers are excited to read s'more:) Be sure to look out for the Book Fair after the Thanksgiving holiday.



Book Fair November 28- December 2

The Book Fair featuring Scholastic and Bonjour Books is right around the corner!! The Fair will be November 28th - December 2nd from 9:30-3:30.


We are still looking for volunteers to help out, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Below is the Sign up Genius if you are able to help:

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090F4BAEA622A4FD0-2022.  We know when classes are coming to visit so if you would like to coordinate with your child's class please email bookfair@scespta.org.


The children will be able to purchase books at any point during the week.  They will have an opportunity to visit the book fair with their class throughout the week.


Scholastic books can be paid for by cash, credit card, check, or e-wallet.  We are encouraging families to set up e-wallets for scholastic books. This is the easiest way for your child to not have to carry cash and be able to purchase what they would like.  Here is the website where you can sign up for e-wallets for scholastic:

https://www.scholastic.com/bf/sligocreekelementaryschool


Bonjour Books will be providing books in French for our students.  To pay for these books, you can only use cash or credit card.

Parents are welcome to come and shop throughout the day during the Book Fair. You do not need to sign up for a slot, just sign into the main office.


Bonjour Books supporting SCES


The PTA is happy to share that Bonjour Books DC, the local French bookstore in Kensington, MD will support SCES PTA all year long with 3% cash back (that's six times more than Amazon Smile!) of all online and in-store purchases by SCES families.  The fundraiser applies to anything purchased at their store - including new and used French immersion books as well as fun gifts and French groceries. They also have a small selection of English-language books with a French theme.  Please mention SCES during your next visit to the store: located at 3758 Howard Ave, Kensington, MD 20895 (right on Antique Row).
