MORE DETAILS
CAN WE BUY A BOOK FOR A TEACHER?
Yes! Most teachers have wish lists for their classrooms (check the boxes along the outer wall, or ask a fair volunteer). IS THERE SALES TAX?
Yes, state law requires us to charge sales tax, which is now 10.1%. Students may need some help calculating the final cost of the books they would like to buy. WHAT IS E-WALLET?
It is a cashless system. You can set up an account for your child to use at the fair (we can look it up from our register). Friends or family can contribute to it too. Please note that any unused funds at the end of the fair become a Scholastic gift card balance. Visit our Scholastic web page for more info |
HOW DO I SHOP ONLINE?
Our online fair runs from March 10 - 23. All orders ship home (free shipping on book-only orders over $25). WHERE DO THE BOOK FAIR PROFITS GO?
All cash profit goes directly to the Sunrise library for the benefit of all students. We also use our Scholastic rewards profits to provide books for the library and for teachers’ classroom libraries, and for Sunrise kids in need |
WE NEED HELPERS!!!
Can you give an hour or two to help make this event a success? There are many ways to help including setup the Friday before and tear down at the end of the week. A minimum of two volunteers are need for EACH SHIFT to keep the fair open - three or four are even better as things can get busy! All daytime volunteers must be approved through the VIPS system INCENTIVE PROGRAM
As a thank you for your help, each volunteer will receive $5 in Scholastic Dollars to spend at the Fair for each shift served. You may sign up for as many shifts as you'd like. |
