SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR IS HERE!
Reading increases knowledge and vocabulary, lowers stress, and supports your child’s emotional growth. But perhaps the best benefit is the lasting bond you create with your child when you read with them.
Visit the Book Fair with your child to discover new books together!
Book Fair dates/times: 10/18-10/22 Van Gorder Library
Open for Shopping: 8:45-9:15am 1:30-4:00pm
A safe alternative to cash, BOOK FAIR eWALLET is the best way to fund your student’s wish list! eWallets can be used at the in-school Fair or online to shop from 5,000+ products. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or to fund an eWallet for a future Fair. If you’re not able to attend the Fair, try our online shopping option.
