Book Fair Preview!
Every dollar you spend will benefit our school and classrooms directly. This year, say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet - your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Grandparents, friends, and others can contribute to the eWallet to help build your home library.
If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school
