The quickest and easiest way to let your kids purchase books at the book fair is through E-wallet. To set up an E-wallet, a scholastic book fair account will need to be created.

Here is a video explaining how the E-Wallet works:

Due to parents not being able to purchase teacher wish list books, each teacher can set up a Scholastic E-Wallet. Funds can be donated directly to your teacher for them to purchase books for the classroom. A Konstealla will be sent out next week with teacher E-Wallet links.

The Kumeyaay Foundation works year-round at raising donations to fund our Music, Physical Education, and Fine Artists programs. Each school year, we start fresh at raising the necessary funds. Due to COVID-19, it has been nearly impossible to fundraise since March 2020, meaning that some of our fundraising events did not happen. We are in good shape to support the school for this coming fall, but we urge you, if you are able, to support our Foundation so that we can ensure our ongoing support for the coming academic year and beyond.
