Grade 5/6
Hi everyone,
The Grade 5/6 team is putting out a call for shoeboxes and extra cardboard (cereal boxes, shipping boxes, etc.) for some exciting upcoming projects! Over the next couple of weeks, our students will be creating dioramas and board games, and we’re hoping to gather as many materials as we can.
If you have any items to spare, we’d love if you could send them our way!

Our bookfair online link is now active! Our in-person fair starts on Monday, April 28th, but you don’t have to wait until then!
Go to owlsnestbooks.com to place a book order anytime between now and May 9th.
Use the promo code (HANSEN) in order for those purchases to be attributed to our school fair.
Owl’s Nest offers free delivery within the city. They process orders as they are submitted, and send them out to people’s homes as they are completed.
What you want to know:
- Why do we have bookfairs?
- We receive a percentage of the sales to help build our school library, which helps all students.
- We create interest in reading by showcasing popular and age/interest relevant books for our students.
- Our in-person Bookfair will be stocked with the books our students are interested in.
- The Bookfair will be open until 4:15 pm, Monday –Thursday to allow parents to come visit the Fair.
- By offering online shopping, we vastly increase the variety of books offered. This means families and friends can order books that they want (not just middle school books) and it still helps grow our book collection at the school. Please do promote this sale with your coworkers and friends.
Did you know?
- The students have an opportunity to win a free book!
- When they submit suggestions that they would like to see at the fair, they can put their name in a draw to win a book. Draw deadline is March 25th.
Thanks in advance for supporting the Bookfair and helping all students have access to books they love in our Learning Commons!
