The goal for 2026 is to raise $50,000
for St. Luke’s Day School

Please join us December 2 - 4, 2025 as we share the joy of books with SLDS children and families!

Once Upon a Winter Woods is inspired by the magic of fairytales and the wonder of a snowy forest. Step into a storybook world where woodland creatures, twinkling trees, and beloved characters come together to celebrate the joy of reading. Our Book Fair will be full of community, imagination, and festive cheer — a place where every story begins with “once upon a time” and ends with “happily ever after.”

We are very excited for the opportunity to once again gather for Book Shopping, Grandparents & Special Friend’s Night, Alumni Afternoon Chapel and Shopping, Storybook Theater with Ms. Brandt,
Storytime with Mrs. Claus, Photos with Santa, Silhouettes with Cindi Rose,
and new this year, a Merry Mahjong event for all of our wonderful SLDS parents!

The fundraising arm of the Book Fair provides tuition assistance for current students, supports literacy initiatives throughout the school, and professional learning for our SLDS teachers.

Thank you for supporting our treasured school.  For questions, please contact us at sldsbookfair@gmail.com.
