Big news for this year's Scholastic Book Fair (November 16 – 20): we are transitioning to a cashless fair!
We know this is a change for our school families, so to make shopping completely seamless and safe for your kids, we are using Scholastic eWallet! Say goodbye to lost cash, crumpled bills, or worrying about loose change in backpacks. With eWallet, your student gets a secure digital account to independently pick out their favorite books with confidence.
Here is how easy it is to set up:
Create Account: Set up your child's free eWallet account online.
Add Funds: Choose your budget and load funds into the account.
Share: Easily send your link to grandparents, family, and friends so they can contribute to your child's book fund!
Shop: Your student shops hassle-free during Book Fair week! Any leftover funds stay safely in your account to use for future fairs or online Scholastic orders.
Get your child's eWallet set up before the fair starts: 🔗 https://www.scholastic.com/bf/walkerelementaryschool3
* If parent/guardian is shopping in person, credit/debit cards are accepted.
Happy Sunday!
