SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR – THIS WEEK!  December 10-14
Every purchase gives back to our school!  This is a HUGE fundraiser for new books for our library!
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Edgewood THIS WEEK!  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.

SUPPORTING OUR EDGEWOOD VILLAGE and COMMUNITY
**SCHOLASTIC BOOKFAIR SCHOLARSHIP – 
Please donate to our book fund to help our students in financial need.  We are hoping to offer each student $10-15 budget during the bookfair but it depends on Edgewood community donations. You can donate via the Share The Fair Fund 

 **EDGEWOOD FOOD DRIVE for FOOD FOR LANE COUNTY – Accepting non-perishable donations until winter break!
Our food drive is up and running and we are still collecting donations! All items will be donated to Food for Lane County.  Please bring donations to your student's classroom as the office does not have the space to house all of the donations.  Please let us know if you have any questions, and thank you so much for supporting our community!

 **EDGEWOOD SNACK PACKS for Edgewood Families – accepting donations year round!
 Our ever growing snack pack program  is designed to provide healthy snacks for over the weekend.  We need snack donations that are shelf stable and individually packaged.  (Gold fish crackers, fruit gummies, snack bars etc.)
 ** Please let us know if your student would benefit from receiving a weekly snack pack
 
 **EDGEWOOD VILLAGE SCHOLARSHIPS
 At Edgewood we want to make sure all students feel included and that cost should never be a barrier.  We always make sure that families have access to things like school photos, Edgewood Apparel etc.  If you would like to donate to our "Edgewood Village", you can do so at this link: https://schoolpay.com/pay/for/Edgewood-Village-Scholarship-Support/SiHzjL
