3rd-8th grade students may shop with a loved one on Thursday, September 4th from 7:30-8:30.

There are so many books to choose from for every kind of kid: adventure, sci-fi, best-selling, and even “laugh-out-loud” stories. This is a great opportunity for students of ALL ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. All proceeds benefit our school.
We're excited about celebrating our love of books together at the Book Fair!
Don't forget to set up your student's eWallet account for cashless, stress-less shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds!
Empower students to choose their own books and check out with their very own digital payment account. Any leftover funds can be saved for future Fairs!
