The Book Fair Committee plans and organizes a K-6th Grade Book Fair at the First Program. The Fair is successful due to the volunteer efforts of parents and children and the support of faculty, staff, and administration. The Book Fair is usually held during November in the First Program gym. The Fair is a highly successful fundraising event that provides financial assistance to the First Program Library and to the PA through the sale of books. The children's language and communications arts experience at Dalton is enriched as a direct result of the efforts of Book Fair volunteers (including buyers, salespersons, treasurers, cashiers, publicists, graphic designers, and special event planners). Not only does the annual event promote community interest in language and literature, the Book Fair results in substantial financial support of The Dalton School.
