Fall Book Fair

Mark your calendars, the Fall Book Fair will begin on Friday, October 11th and run through Friday, October 18th. Students will be shopping during their Library Media classes. Your child will be getting a paper flyer that previews some of the books offered at the Book Fair. You can also view the interactive flyer to see some of the books offered.

The books Mr. Beast and The New Girl, which are featured in the flyer, will not be available at the Book Fair.

If you wish to shop at the Book Fair with your child, we will be open on Thursday, October 17th until 6:00pm.

Talk to you child about what they should spend their money on at the Book Fair and what to do if a book they want is no longer available. We will be sending out pictures of the cases and tables with a shopping list that can be filled out prior to shopping in person. These shopping lists really are helpful for the younger students. These pictures and shopping list will be sent out on Thursday, October 10th and attached to Mrs. DiRenzo's Newsletter on Friday, October 11th.

On Monday, October 9th students will be bringing home the All for BOOKS letter and envelope. In the Spring we raised over $400, let's try to beat that amount this Fall!

There is still LOTS of time to donate to our All for BOOKS program. Such a great way to help put books into kids hands! If you don't have the baggie and paper, just send it in an envelope/baggie marked All for BOOKS with your child's name and we will take care of the rest.

We will also be running a contest to see who the students want to wear the monster hat pictured below, Mrs. DiRenzo or Mr. Rodkey. To be able to vote, students can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. This money will go towards our All for Books total. If the students round up, they will be given a ticket to cast their vote.

Or you can donate online to the All for BOOKS eWallet that Miss Hazuda created. All money donated will be used to help put books into kids hands! Any little bit will help!!

If you are interested in helping out, please use the Sign-Up Genius link below. If the scheduled hours don't work for you, please contact me (sjhazuda@smcps.org) and we can work something out. Any time you can give us will help so much! Remember you must be a registered volunteer!

The Book Fair Homepage has lots of great information! It has links to the Online Fair. Shop online for an expanded selection of exclusives, new releases, value packs, and more. All orders ship home and book-only orders over $25 ship free!

On the Book Fair Homepage you can set up your child(ren's) eWallet. The eWallet is a very great way to make sure your child has money to spend at the Book Fair without having to send them with cash or a check. See the commercial below for more information.

If you have created an eWallet in the past and there were funds left over, you need to make sure you enable those funds again. This can be done when you are setting it up again.

We can accept cash, checks (made payable to HES), and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express).

We cannot accept any debit cards, Visa gift cards, etc. from students or parents for payment.

The Book Fair eWallet is a safe and secure alternative to cash or checks. Simply create an account to add funds and/or invite family and friends to contribute. Then students can shop in-person without having to keep track of cash/checks. If possible, please print the barcode voucher you receive when you set it up.

You can set up an eWallet account by visiting the Book Fair Homepage or going directly to the eWallet Set Up Page.

***Please be aware that any money not spent in the child's eWallet will remain there and not be refunded back to the credit card. That money can be spent at the Online Store at any time or can be funded again, by you, on the eWallet for the next fair.***
