When the Scholastic Book Fair comes to your school, you have the power to provide a book for every kid through these pathways.
Every kid deserves the Book Fair
Scholastic Dollars™
With every purchase at the Fair, your school earns Scholastic Dollars worth up to 50% more than cash. What can you do with that extra profit? Create access to more books by using Scholastic Dollars to stock classroom and school libraries.
Share the Fair
Share the Fair is the giving program built into the Book Fair, where contributions from your school community benefit students who need help buying books from the Fair.
There are three ways to contribute:
o
When families add funds to a Book Fair eWallet, they can also contribute to Share the Fair.
o
Anyone can add money to the coin box that comes with the Fair.
o
Or, during checkout, they can round up purchases or make a separate contribution to benefit Share the Fair.
Share the Fair contributions are yours to distribute. Use them to benefit students who need help buying new books.
Book Fair eWallet
It’s more than a convenient way for kids to shop the Fair—eWallet is also a teacher’s shortcut for building classroom libraries. Here’s how:
1. Teachers create an eWallet, a free digital account for Book Fair purchases.
2. Teachers share an eWallet donation link in student's family communications.
3. Grateful families contribute to the eWallet.
4. Teachers buy books at the Fair for their classroom library.
5. More kids have access to books!
ESSER Funds
Your school may have money available through pandemic programs like Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) or Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS). Don’t let it go to waste! One purpose of these funds—to address pandemic-related learning loss—aligns with our shared mission in bringing the Scholastic Book Fair to your school.
The Fair is the perfect occasion to ask your school administration about the availability of ESSER or EANS funds. New titles for classroom or school libraries? Books for kids who can’t afford them? If your school has relief money and an upcoming Book Fair, then you’ve got options.
