Get Ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them to become Bolder, Prouder, and Stronger Readers.

Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from Monday, 4/24-Friday, 4/28 in our school library.

Before the Fair, set up an eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases.
