HIGHLAND’S SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Highland during Parent Teacher Conferences! Please attend the Book Fair - children love choosing their own books to read, and a percentage of all Book Fair purchases benefits Highland.
With the Scholastic’s eWallet you can buy books on a teacher’s wish lists, donate to the Highland library’s book fund, or shop online. Online orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for orders over $25. Visit Highland’s Book Fair homepage for more information and to get set-up with eWallet and online shopping: Highland Scholastic Book Fair
Volunteers are needed to help run the Book Fair. It is an easy job and a great opportunity to meet other families. You can sign-up for a 15-minute shift before or after your child’s conference: Volunteer Sign-Up. Thank you!
