Book Fair Contest
The Book Fair Contest continues this week and we will have a drawing for winners on Friday! Students can earn entries into our Book Fair contest when teachers/staff catch them reading at school! Some lucky students will win gift certificates to shop the book fair and others will win free posters. If you want to win, you've got to READ! Students can put their tickets in the corresponding bucket for their grade level in the library's "Emerald City."
Only one week until the book fair is here! The Book Fair is happening February 10-14, 2025. Now is the perfect time to set up an eWallet for cashless, stress-less shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds! Set one up here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/coppercreekelemschool. If you have unspent eWallet funds from a previous fair, please log in to your Scholastic account and select Copper Creek's upcoming fair and authorize that those funds can be applied to our upcoming fair. Funds will not rollover automatically without your authorization. Please note the following forms of payment can be used at our upcoming fair: eWallet, cash and change, Greenlight card, debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Remember to include a little extra money over the advertised price as we are required to collect sales tax. We will no longer be accepting checks as a form of payment. Please note that the Scholastic registers do not accept American Express cards.
Students may shop during their class visit and after school/during conference times. The book fair is open during the school day and after school with the following closing times: M 2/10: 4:30 PM Tu 2/11: 4:30 PM W 2/12: 5:30 PM Th 2/13: 6:00 PM F 2/14 12:30 PM
