Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair is an annual event at TJS with the goal of inspiring a love for reading in all students.
The Book Fair is a great opportunity for students to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. Research shows a link between a student choosing their own book(s) and reading pleasure.
