The vibrant community of Lois Harrison-Jones Elementary School is thrilled to announce the upcoming Richmond Book Festival, set to take place on Saturday, April 27th, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. This family-friendly event promises an immersive celebration of literature, creativity, and community engagement.

The Richmond Book Festival will transform Lois Harrison-Jones Elementary School into a literary haven, featuring discounted books, a silent auction, and an exciting raffle with fantastic prizes. Families can explore a variety of activities, including bounce houses, face painting, and a unique “Fiction Factory” pop-up book creation station, providing an opportunity for children and adults alike to unleash their creativity.

In addition to the literary delights, the festival will host a diverse array of vendors offering a range of products and services. Attendees can also indulge in delicious food available for purchase, and satisfy their sweet tooth with sweets. All proceeds from food sales will contribute
to vital initiatives supported by the Lois Harrison-Jones Elementary PTA.

The event is not only a celebration of literature but also a fundraiser to support crucial initiatives at Lois Harrison-Jones Elementary School. Funds raised during the festival will contribute to the Caboose revitalization project, teacher appreciation efforts, after-school programming, and the maintenance of the school’s beautiful eco-friendly campus.
