Please do NOT send your students to school with cash in denominations over $20.00. We do not have enough change to accommodate that. The safest way to give your student(s) a solo shopping opportunity is to set them up with an eWallet. You can set these up easily at our book fair website https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/CRE1. Any change left on the eWallet can be used at future book fairs or for shopping online at Scholastic.com. We will have a contest for all students with an eWallet set up by Thursday at 3:30 pm. Their names will be entered into a drawing for a free book (up to a $15.00 value). The winner will be announced during Friday morning announcements.
At this book fair, we have set up an eWallet for each of our teachers in place of a wishlist. To contribute to their wishlist, please consider adding to their eWallets. That way, if what they would like for their classroom is unavailable during the book fair, they can order it on their own on the website. The list of their eWallets is available here https://5il.co/2fdu7.
We look forward to seeing you and your students at our amazing book fair!
