Dear Parents and Families:

Our Scholastic Buy 1, Get 1 FREE* Book Fair is coming on May 1st and we are looking for volunteers! https://signup.com/go/hiTGaey
The book fair will connect your kids to fun books and inspiring characters — helping them become lifelong readers while doubling their reading fun! Not only will your child be able to choose from a wonderful selection of titles before summer vacation starts, they'll also get one free book for every book they buy!
Our spring Book Fair no doubt will be THE place for ultimate Book joy and a welcome even for our students. Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from Monday, May 1st through Friday, May 5th at Gordon Creek Elementary!
Our Book Fair offers eWallet, a safe and secure alternative to cash. Simply create a free account to add funds and/or invite family and friends to contribute so your child can select their own books. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or to fund a future eWallet.
If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair*. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:
