Dear Families,

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. A love of independent reading boosts academic success, plus children who read more frequently also report improved mental health1.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: May 5th - 9th
Location: HPE Library, during library specials
Family Event schedule and location: Wednesday, May 7th, 1:00-3:00 p.m.

There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage:

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.

When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the FairTM. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.

Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.

Happy reading,

Megan M. Keplinger
Principal
Hudson Park Elementary

To transfer them to this Fair, log in to your Scholastic account and create a new eWallet-then your previous balance will be available to transfer as an eGift Card.
