Prepare for the Fair

 Complete your Services Agreement five weeks before your fair start date.

Check out the video tutorials. Learn more about every aspect of the Fair. 

Recruit volunteers. They can help you with setup, shopping days, and packing up. 

Help every student participate. Use Share the Fair and your Scholastic Dollars™ to help every kid take home a book.

 

Customize your homepage. Your school’s Fair homepage already includes basic info about your Fair. Add extra details in your Fair Account on the Hub.

Promote the Fair

Spread the word. Head to Fair Files to download customizable letters, flyers, social posts, and other promotional resources.

Hype the books. You’ll find Book Fair flyers, book trailers, and more to share with students and families.

Promote Book Fair eWallet. Encourage families and teachers to set up eWallets to make shopping the Fair even easier.

Plan Fair previews and family events. Invite teachers and students to preview the Fair and create wish lists. And consider organizing family events for parents, grandparents, and other special grown-ups.
