Our Scholastic Book Fair opened today! It will be open all week including during Kooky Spooky. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves.
Use the QR code to see our Farrington Book Fair page. You may want to set up a book fair eWALLET, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop at the Fair without cash. You can even share your eWALLET account so family or friends can add funds. If you don't want to use the eWALLET, you can send in cash on their shopping day.
