A special note from Tracy in the office...
This was my favorite event to volunteer for when my kids went to Lester! I loved seeing the excitement in the students' faces and helping them find books. Of course it was also another way I could see my children in school :)
How do I know when my child is shopping with his/her class?
Classroom shopping is from 8-11am Tue-Thu, October 11-13.
Teachers have signed up for a time slot for their whole class to shop.

Scholastic charging tax now
An important change from the past years is that Scholastic books is now charging tax on their books. So an important thing to tell your child before they shop with their class is that even though the book may say $6.99 for example, it is actually going to be more than that due to sales tax.
Book Fair eWallet
Digital Payment Option for Lester PTA's Book Fair:
https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/parent-how-it-works.html?fairID=5162969
eWallet Key points:
- If you have money left from the last year it can be rolled into an eWallet for this one!
- Any unspent funds will roll into scholastic gift cards to use online or to be rolled over into another eWallet - they do not refund back to you
- Anything less than $2.00 left on an eWallet at the end of the fair will be donated to the PTA to be used for the free book table. If you do NOT want this to happen please reach out to Katie Pickar at ktpickar@gmail.com and your funds will stay in your account.
