Haw River Elementary's book fair starts Monday, April 17th and is open through Friday, April 21st. The students are so excited! It is a buy one/ get one free fair. They should have brought home a flyer and letter from Mr. Bryan with some details about the fair.
Your students will be shopping during their library class time. Shopping on Monday will be the following classes; Ms. Sierra, Ms. Realini, Ms. Hines, Ms. Lundy, Ms. Feddeman and Ms. Scott. The book fair will be open for our family shopping event on Thursday, April 20th from 3:00 - 7pm. This will coincide with our Duke Energy Science night (more information will be coming soon).

I strongly encourage you to set up an eWallet for your child. This can be set up from the book fair home page. You put money on their account and they use it to shop the fair. It is a safe alternative to sending cash to school. If you have more than one student at HRE, each child must have their own eWallet as they do not shop at the same time during the school day. Leftover funds less than $1 will be donated to All For Books and is used to purchase books for the school or students who can’t afford them. Leftover funds greater than $1 will be placed on a Scholastic gift card and can be used on the online store or to fund an eWallet for a future fair. You may also choose to donate the balance to the school to purchase books or help students that are just a few pennies short on their purchase, just let Mrs. Lynch know. Here are instructions for creating an eWallet for your child.

Children and adults with autism spectrum disorder often care deeply but struggle to spontaneously develop empathic and socially connected typical behavior. Individuals with ASD often want to interact socially but lack the ability to spontaneously develop effective social interaction skills. #CelebrateDifferences #AutismAcceptance #ChooseEmpathy

Self-Advocacy is an important skill that is especially important for autistic individuals. In order to be a great self-advocate, people first must know what their strengths are as well as what accommodations serve them the best. With that knowledge, they can be their own best advocate with family, school, or community. How are you proactive in advocating for yourself? #AutismAcceptance #SelfAdvocacy #CelebrateDifferences

Yesterday was Autism Awareness Day, and the month of April is Autism Acceptance Month. Autism Awareness Month aims to celebrate and promote acceptance of the condition that occurs in one in every 54 children as of 2020 in the United States. Autism, a complex developmental condition affecting the patient’s ability to interact, communicate, and progress, has not one but many subtypes. Autism Acceptance Month emphasizes the need for public awareness to promote acceptance, celebrate differences, and be more inclusive towards autistic individuals around us. For the month of April, we will #LightItUpBlue!
