Book Fair Week at Chandler
The 2017 Book Fair is in full swing at Chandler School, thanks to the tireless energy and inspiration of our CFA.
This week, in addition to an amazing Book Fair & Fall Festival, professional authors and illustrators are visiting with students in each grade.
Book Fair week at Chandler gives students the thrill of meeting their favorite authors in person. Students learn all about the craft of being a professional author. Book signings, workshops and read aloud story time are just some of the ways Chandler is celebrating its love of reading all week long. Thanks to our CFA for such an enriching and enjoyable program.
