Book Fair dates: May 15, 2023 – May 18, 2023.
Our Book Fair offers a cash-free payment option called e-wallet. It’s a convenient digital account that your child can use for shopping at our fair. Grandparents, friends, and others can contribute, too! Funds that were not spent may be rolled over to future fairs by logging into your e-wallet account or contacting Scholastic.
If your accounts has unused funds you can log-in and transfer or add money to a e-wallet account from 4/21- 5/19.
If your child can’t make it to the Fair, then you can still shop online at our school’s Virtual Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Don’t worry your online orders will also benefit our school.
