PTC Club and Event Happenings:
Scholastic Book Fair
Our winter Scholastic Book Fair continues through Friday, 2/1 at the times below. Online shopping is also available through 2/5 (details below):
Before School: 8:10 am – 8:28 am
Lunch Recess: 10:45 am – 12:30 pm
After School: 3:05pm – 3:30pm
Friday, Before/During Dance: 5:45 pm – 8:00 pm
Terra Linda will receive 55% of sales in Scholastic Dollars to buy books for the school!
The Book Fair is a wonderful opportunity to share your love of reading with your whole class by donating a book to your student’s classroom. Teachers will have chosen books they would like to have in their classroom and set them aside behind the cashier. When purchasing your own books at the fair, you can also chose to contribute additional money, in any amount, that will be used to buy books for the school.
Online shopping for the fair offers an expanded selection of books for all ages. Online shopping runs until 2/5. Any books ordered online can ship to the school for free and we’ll get them to you or you can pay to ship to an address.
The online fair is a great way to get a book that we don’t have at the fair, or one that sold out. Books purchased online still count towards additional books for the school.
NOTE: The site has a School Wish List, however the books listed are a default list from Scholastic and do not reflect what the school would like. Please visit the fair at school if you would like to purchase and donate books to classrooms. Thank you.
Please contact Book Fair Chair, Rick Collett at bookfair@terralindaptc.org with questions.

Get your poodle skirts and saddle shoes ready. The 1950’s Sock Hop for all Terra Linda families will be on Friday, February 1st from 6-8 pm.
Please join us for this fun-filled event where you can doo wop and dance with your family and friends. 50’s style clothing is encouraged but not required.
Admission is free and there will be snacks for purchase.
