It's Book Fair Time!
Get Ready For March!
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Kids choosing their own books empowers and inspires them to become lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.
Here’s what you need to know about the big event:
Class preview day will be on Friday, March 7th. This will allow students to view the fair, create a wishlist, and pick out a free book all thanks to our wonderful PTO.
Shopping will open on Monday, March 10th and will go through Saturday, March 15th. Your student(s) will get a chance to shop with their classroom during their scheduled library time and during their 2nd recess times. Families will be able to come in to shop together after school, in the evening and on a Saturday morning!
Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account.
Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.
If you can't shop in person shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school. Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping here!
The countdown to more Book Joy is on! Catch you at the Fair!
Please remember for evening shopping hours please park along the bus lane and use the double doors by the cafeteria to gain access to the fair.

We are fundraising to help bring more books into our school's library!!
How?
We will be rounding up all cash purchases to the nearest dollar to "share the fair"
with our school!
It's a win-win for all, our students gain access to more books in the library AND they don't lose any of their change after buying books for home.
