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! https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/cogreenfieldschool
Here’s everything else you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: March 23–27
Location: Room 218
Book Fair After-hours: Wednesday, March 25 from 2–4 p.m.
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.
Happy reading,
