I’ve just set up our Scholastic Book Club school group order online. This means you can now order all the books in your Book Clubs leaflet. S1/2 pupils will receive a catalogue from their English teacher and other year groups can collect a copy from the Library. You can browse the Scholastic catalogues at Scholastic Knox Academy Club and, what's more, you'll be able to have your books delivered to school for FREE!

You need to order your books by Friday 16th November 2012. After that date, I’ll confirm that all orders are in and the books will be delivered to school for me to hand out in class. For every £1 you spend 20p goes back to our school to spend on much-needed books for our library!

Take a look at what’s on offer here Scholastic Knox Academy Club – there are some great bargains with books costing as little as £1.99!

Kind regards
