Scholastic Book Orders
The Scholastic Book Club website offers a much wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Ordering online is simple and easy! Register using our class activation code (M4JWL) and the books will arrive in our classroom with the rest of the orders. There is also a link to Scholastic Book Clubs on the Links page of our class website.
Ordering using the printed forms is also still an option. Please send those forms in with either the exact amount in cash or a check made out to Scholastic Book Clubs.
All orders are due next Friday - September 20th.
