Book Fair and Ice Cream Social Next Week! Setup e-Wallet today
It's finally here!! Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair is next week from September 24-26. As a reminder, the fair will be cashless during school days on September 24th and 25th. Please set-up an e-Wallet so your kids can shop at the Book Fair. Cash will only be accepted on September 26th.
Join us on the evening of September 26th between 6 to 8 p.m. for an Ice Cream Social. You can enjoy delicious ice cream and shop for your favorite books at the Book Fair! All Ivy Hall students will receive a sticker, which can be redeemed for one free ice cream novelty! Additional ice cream novelties can be purchased for $2 each. Preferred methods of payment are credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Please note:
- All book sales incur an additional 8% tax. Please keep that in mind when you upload money into the e-Wallet account.
- If you have a balance remaining from last year’s e-Wallet account, it has been converted to a Scholastic gift card. Choose your existing e-gift card when asked how to fund your e-Wallet at checkout. You can add additional money on the e-wallet account using a credit card.
