Times will be available during school for students to shop. The book fair will be open on Saturday Feb. 11 from 3:30pm-6:30pm for families to browse and shop.
Before the fair, set up your child(ren)'s eWallet account(s) for a stress free, cash free shopping. Alternatively, you can send your child(ren) with cash or a check payable to Hemenway PTO.
To set up your child's e-wallet, check events, view class shopping schedules and have a sneak peek preview of the books at the fair please check out our Book Fair homepage.
If you'd like to help build the classroom libraries you can either buy a book from the teachers' wish lists at the bookfair or you can contribute to their eWallets. If you don't see the staff member's name that you'd like to contribute to please contact them directly to set up their eWallet.
The Book fair is one of the most anticipated events of the school year and we need volunteers to make it happen. If you're available to lend a hand at this upcoming event please sign up here and experience the Bookjoy firsthand. All volunteers must have a valid CORI.
