Soaring Over MDE
10/28/2022
Dear Parents and Families:
Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way. Choosing their own books empowers
kids and inspires them to become Bolder, Prouder, and Stronger Readers. AND—as
always—every book they buy earns rewards for our school.
Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from Friday, November 4
through Thursday, November 10, for 1 hour after school in the MDE Library.
This year, say hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up
eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet
so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.
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.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

The countdown to more Bookjoy is on! Catch you at the Fair!
Happy reading,
Katie Sanchez
Principal
Mt. Diablo Elementary
