DAIS PTO Fall Scholastic Book Fair
During the week of October 22-26, 2018 your student will have the opportunity to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair with their class. The classroom Buy Day schedule can be viewed on the DAIS PTO webpage. If your child misses their scheduled Buy Day they can visit the Book Fair during the scheduled makeup time on Friday, October 26. Books can also be purchased at our Online Book Fair from October 22 through November 4. Books purchased online will be delivered to the school at no additional charge. A link to the online fair can be found on the PTO webpage.
The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book is available for pre-sale. If your child is interested, just fill out the order form and send it to the Book Fair with payment ($9.53 including tax). An order form will come home with your student or can be found through a link on the PTO webpage. Books will ship to DAIS at no additional charge within 5-7 days of the October 30 release date.
The Book Fair will be open for Family Night on Thursday, October 25, 6pm to 8pm. Please enter through the flagpole entrance.
Accepted payments include cash, credit cards, or Scholastic eWallet, which can be set up at the Scholastic homepage (a link can be found on the PTO webpage). NO CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Don’t forget PA sales tax of 6% will be added to every sale.
Parents, we’d love to have your help with the Book Fair. In fact, we’re offering $10 in BOOKS to every volunteer upon completion of two volunteer shifts! A link to the Sign Up Genius can be found on the DAIS PTO webpage.
If you have any questions, please contact Emily Lauer at ems_8@yahoo.com.
