PTA Scholastic Book Fair
Scholastic Book Fair 2021 December 6th-17th
We are happy to announce we are having an in-person Scholastic Book Fair. The book fair will last two weeks to give each class the time and space needed to shop. Your child can shop both days, and we will accept cash, check, credit, and eWallet. Please don't forget the 6% sales tax on every purchase.
We have not only given each class two days to shop the fair, but we will also be open for the evening of the choir concert and a few days after school. Due to global supply and shipping delays, Scholastic can no longer guarantee all the books in the flyer, and because of required spacing between children, we will not send home children's wish lists. Teachers will still make a classroom wish list, and you will still be able to purchase a book for your child's classroom teachers.
For your convenience, we will feature eWallet again this year. The eWallet is a cashless digital option you set up with a credit card on www.scholastic.com Please be aware eWallet has changed since the last fair. After the fair, remaining eWallet funds are not returned to a credit card but will instead become a gift card balance that can be used online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair. Be sure to sign in with the same email used to create the eWallet.
Due to global supply and shipping issues this year, Scholastic cannot guarantee stock of books in the flyer, and orders online will not be guaranteed before Christmas. Please be on the lookout for a volunteer email and holiday shopping hours.
