STAFF APPRECIATION
BOOK FAIR IS COMING!
Support our school and help your child discover new books by shopping at our annual Book Fair. Our Book Fair will be offered starting Monday May 16th until Friday the 20th. You can still shop virtually and have books shipped to your house by visiting our website below. Books make great gift ideas! Please help our school earn back 25% of our total sales which will be put right back into classroom libraries!
When visiting our website please consider setting up an eWallet account. Setting up an eWallet allows you to add money to your account online. When students shop at the Book Fair, they won't need to bring in money, we will look up their e-Wallet account to pay for books. Any unused money can be used to buy books at the Scholastic Store online or for future fairs.
If you are interested in volunteering at the Book Fair or have questions please reach out to Tabitha Schultz or Becky Wasikowski at bookfairpv@gmail.com.
