The Scholastic Book Fair continues through this Friday. If you want your student to go cashless, you can put money in an eWallet here https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/elkinspointemiddleschool1

When they are ready to check out, the person at the register will look them up by name.

Cash, credit cards and checks made payable to EPMS are also accepted.

Media Center Specialist Patti Hutchison has set up a fund for teachers if you'd like to donate to it. Teachers will use these funds to purchase books for their classroom. This fund will also be used to purchase books for students in need. Disregard that the title in the fund says 7th grade. It will be used for ALL grades.
