Maria Papageorgiou Book Fair and E-Wallet Set-up

Our Spring Book Fair is planned for April 25-27.  Classes will visit the Book Fair during the week.  Please set up an E-Wallet (preferred payment method, see below), send cash or check (payable to Ivy Hall PTO).   Preview the Book Fair information at https://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.

The preferred payment method is on E-Wallet! E-Wallet is an easy way to let your kids purchase items at the Book Fair without worrying about sending cash or a blank check to school. If you had an E-wallet balance from the fall, it is now a gift card balance. You can log into your Scholastic account and transfer it back to an E-wallet. Sign up for E-Wallet at [email protected].

Sales tax will be collected.

 


Volunteers Needed for Book Fair and Pizza/Bingo

Our two favorite events of the year will not be a success without your help. If you are able to give a couple hours of your time, we would greatly appreciate it. Both daytime and evening timeslots are available. Sign-up at http://linktr.ee/ivyhallpto.
