zoom_out_map

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YEY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND- as always- every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.

Book Fair dates: October 19-26 (not open on weekends)

Shopping hours:

Thursday 10/19, Friday 10/20, Tuesday 10/24: 8am-2pm

Monday 10/23, Wednesday 10/25: 8am-2pm and 4pm-8pm

Thursday 10/26: 8ap-4pm

Located on the 2nd floor above the social stairs.

Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet- your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.

During the book fair we will accept Cash, Check, Mobile Pay, Credit or eWallet

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:
