Counselor's Corner with Mr. Biolo
Giving Thanks at Home
Thanksgiving is nearly here! This holiday is a wonderful time for family, food, and reflection on all that we are grateful for. As your school counselor, I want to share some ideas to make this Thanksgiving meaningful and memorable for your family:
- Have gratitude time at dinner where each person takes a turn sharing something they are thankful for. Model this for your kids by going first.
- Encourage your children to make Thanksgiving cards or artwork to send to relatives. This is a great way for them to express gratitude.
- Help your kids get involved in giving back this season. One good idea might be to assist them in donating gently used toys and clothes to charities or even Goodwill.
- Take time to share family traditions and talk about what Thanksgiving means to you. Dig out old recipes, photos, or other keepsakes to reminisce over.
- Focus on quality time together. Turn off electronics and enjoy simple activities like board games,
crafts, baking, or walks.
Thanksgiving is about more than just turkey and stuffing. It's a chance to cultivate an 'attitude of gratitude' in our kids that will help them appreciate life's gifts, both big and small. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday full of meaning, memories, and reasons to give thanks!
Post Book Fair Frequently Asked Questions
Can parents use unspent e-wallets at our virtual fair website? The virtual fair site will be available for shopping for a few days after our fair. After that, any eWallets with remaining balances will automatically convert to an eGift card.
My unspent eWallet funds have not been returned to my credit card. eWallet funds are not returned to a credit card. After the Book Fair, the funds become a gift card balance and can be used to shop online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair. The funds do not expire and are not tied to a specific school or student.
Once an eWallet is created, where can details be viewed? Log in to your MyScholastic account to view, manage, or print an existing eWallet.
What happens if I forget about the remaining funds on my child’s eWallet after the Fair ends? Whomever created the eWallet will receive a monthly email reminder of their Scholastic balance to ensure it is not forgotten. The funds become an eGift card balance and can be used throughout Scholastic online or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair.
Could the eWallet funds be transferable to another school if the child changes schools or graduates and still has not used all of the money? At the end of the Fair, the balance is moved to an eGift card balance. It is not tied to a specific school or student when it becomes an eGift balance; it’s only tied to the email address used to create the eWallet. It never expires, can be used for any student, and can be used within any of the Scholastic online sites.
Do eWallet funds expire? eWallet funds never expire and can be used to shop online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair. When our school has their next fair, the eGift card can be used to fund the next eWallet. The funds always follow the email associated with the eWallet or eGift Card. So it’s important to use the same email when an eWallet gets created for the next book fair.
I tried to place an order at the Scholastic Store Online, but did not see an option to use my eWallet balance during checkout. What should I do? Be sure to log in with the same email account you used for eWallet setup. During the Book Fair, balances will display as an eWallet during checkout. After the Fair ends, any balances are shown as a gift card balance at checkout.
For further assistance, contact customer service at scholasticstore@scholastic.com or 1-800-770-4662.
