OAS SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR starts Tuesday!
The Scholastic Book Fair will be returning to OAS from November 14-16! All students (including middle schoolers) will visit the book fair with their classes. Middle school students will visit the fair with their ELA classes.
Some OAS teachers have chosen to set up Scholastic eWallets that families can contribute to for the purchase of classroom books. (Please note that this is separate from your child's personal Scholastic eWallet.) Please click HERE to view the list of teacher eWallets, if you're interested in contributing.
Cash, credit cards (adults only), Apple/Google Pay, and Scholastic eWallets will be accepted at the fair. Families with an eWallet balance from last year will receive an email from Scholastic with instructions on how to use it this year. Click HERE to set up a new eWallet for this year's fair.
