Dear families,
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: Sept. 22-26
Location: WGS Library
Family Event schedule and location: Wednesday Sept 24 from 4-6 pm
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.
Remember we have to charge sales tax. Please do not send bags of change. We get very busy at
checkout and do not have time to count change! We appreciate you! eWallet is the safest and easiest
way for your child to buy books.
Happy reading,
Kerri Day
WGS Librarian
P.S. Don’t miss out! A new Scholastic sweepstakes offers a chance to get more books for your child’s home library–plus an unbelievable vacation!
