SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR – December 10-14
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Edgewood Wednesday, December 10th – Sunday, December 14th!
During the week, kids will shop at their regularly scheduled class library time.
During our weekend times, friends & families can shop together! Saturday, 10-12, and Sunday, 2-4.
Most non-book items (posters, stickers, pens, etc.) will be available on the weekend. 
Cash, credit cards, checks and eWallets are all accepted. The eWallet is a great option if you’d rather not send cash, or if others want to contribute (it’s a great early holiday gift!). If you put money on the eWallet, please let your kiddos know so they know how much they have and to give their name at the register to pay.
You can also contribute to the Share The Fair Fund to help us make sure all kids get a chance to buy a book. The PTA uses this money for students who may not be able to otherwise afford to shop at the book fair. 
We’re also looking for parent volunteers to help make this Book Fair the best it can be.
https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/edgewoodelemschool this link will take you to the website where you can find the eWallet, Share The Fair, and our Volunteer Sign Up.
If you would like your child to be added to the Share The Fair Fund, please contact Tanya.
Every purchase gives back to our school!
