VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES! We are so excited to showcase this year's new releases and bestsellers for your student(s), but we can't do it without YOU! The Book Fair is SOLELY run by wonderful parent/guardian volunteers just like you. There are shifts before school, during recess and lunch, and after school. Find a shift or two that works with your schedule. Please SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER! 

E-Wallet SET UP AN EWALLET! Parents can create a digital payment account and prepay any amount. Students can spend eWallet amounts at the book fair without going over the limit set by parents. NOTE: If your child has remaining funds from a prior (including Fall 2023) Book Fair’s eWallet or a Scholastic eGift card, you must create a new eWallet for each new Book Fair (and one for each child). When you set up your eWallet for the 2024 Spring Book Fair, look for the option to apply your current balance to a new eWallet!

ORDER ONLINE!  Not able to shop in person? Shop the fair online.   All orders ship directly to your home and shipping is free for orders over $25 and proceeds will still benefit our school.
