This special event supports our community's love of reading, raises funds for the school, and provides hundreds of books for Eaton classrooms.

The Book Fair has taken a few different forms over the past couple years, so in case you have questions about what to expect this year, here are the basics:
What is the Eaton Book Fair?
The Eaton Book Fair is a partnership with Politics & Prose bookstores that benefits John Eaton Elementary School in two key ways. First, 20% of purchases the weekend of the book fair go back to Eaton IF you show the book fair flier at check-out.
Second, all of our classroom teachers have wish lists of books they would like to add to their classroom collections.
If my family purchases a book from the classroom wish list, how does my student share it with their Eaton teacher?
Families received a bag to send your books to Eaton in and book plates on which your student can write their name and the name of the teacher for whom the family purchased the wish list book.
On Sunday February 25 some of our amazing teachers will be reading their favorite books during lunchtime at Comet Pizza and Ping Pong. Visit the book fair at Politics & Prose (5015 Connecticut Ave., NW), grab lunch at Comet* and share a story with teachers and friends!
