Annual Book Fair

The Annual Scholastic Book Fair!

The Scholastic Book Fair is becoming one of our greatest traditions here at Transfiguration School. In addition to being a fantastic reading event, a percentage of Book Fair proceeds go right back to Transfiguration School, to help achieve our annual fundraising goals. It is one of the easiest ways to raise funds for the school. And, gift wrapping is available which the 8th Graders do as a Community Service project.

Explore a large selection of books

There is something for everyone: classics that every child would enjoy; award-winning fiction; picture, easy reader, and chapter books; bestsellers and popular series favorites, such as Harry Potter, and I Spy; special value books—some as low as 99 cents; school supplies, student reference notebooks, and fun activities; adult favorites, including fiction and nonfiction bestsellers; educational software and activities; posters, bookmarks, cards games, plush characters; and more!

Classroom Wish Lists help build classroom libraries
Each teacher puts together a Classroom Wish List to enable families help teachers build classroom libraries and connect kids with books they want to read. It’s fun, easy, and rewarding, and it’s your chance to grant wishes for both students and teachers.
