| Workshops Breathe New Life Into Your Book Fair |
"I go to workshops to refresh myself," says Sara Schlehofer, a longtime chairperson at St. John Notre Dame School in Folsom, Calif. "I retain by visual learning. At the workshops, I learn how to operate the equipment and how to take advantage of programs that Scholastic Book Fairs offers me so that I can quickly know how I can make the best use of my time and effort - my six days twice a year when I generate $118,000 in gross income."
