Our Book Fair Continues… Online!
This week’s Book Fair was a great success. We loved seeing our Sparks’ enthusiasm as they poured over new books and exchanged feedback on past favorites.
If you didn’t have a chance to purchase your books yet, never fear! Our online store HERE is open all year long for orders. When you create an account, select Embers Academy and proceeds will continue to support books for the new library!
