Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to build your child’s home library with new books they’ll dive into again and again.
The easiest way to let your child shop the Fair independently is by creating an eWallet. It’s easy to set up and easy for others to add funds.
Create an eWallet, and you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to Share the Fair - the giving program that supports students at our school who need help buying books. Consider participating so that no child leaves the Fair empty-handed!
Here’s everything else you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: October 20th-24th
Location:Metcalf Elementary
Family Night: October 24th, 5:30-8pm, Metcalf Elementary Cafeteria
For full details, and to create an eWallet, visit our school’s Book Fair homepage:

More than ever, we need to get students reading. Studies prove* that children with more books
at home, have higher-level reading skills, and attain more years of education overall.
Lastly, this is a great opportunity to be a Book Fair volunteer! When you give your time, it helps make our Fair an unforgettable reading experience where every purchase benefits our school directly. https://signup.com/go/asYxRoV
