BOOK FAIR!! DECEMBER 4TH-8TH!
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming up Monday, December 4th and ends Friday, December 8th. Before the Fair, you can set up an eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute to your student’s eWallet! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy. EWallet is the easiest way to pay! Here is a link to a video that explains how eWallet works:

Students can also pay with cash, card or a check. If students are paying with your credit card, please make sure your child has a note authorizing them to use the card. The note MUST be signed. If using a check, please make sure it is the exact amount because we are unable to give change. One last reminder is that please make sure you take into account sales tax.
If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:
