Scholastic Book Fair
It’s Book Fair Time!
This year we’re creating a special holiday themed book fair event with Scholastic! Just in time for the holidays, celebrate reading with the PS153 Parents Association (PA) by coming to the PS 153 Holiday Book Fair.
The fair will run from December 9th – 13th, with special events set-up each day for students and families.
Raffle!
We will also be a holding a Book Fair Raffle for each classroom. Tickets are only $1 and limited to 1 ticket per student. Each class will have its own drawing at the end of the fair and the book will be given to the winners at the end of the school day on Friday, December 13th.
Students can purchase books with cash or from their eWallet balance during the school day. Parents may use their credit cards to purchase books during our special events.
A portion of all purchases are used to support the PA budget and our year long programming.
Important: sales tax will be added to all purchases.
eWallet
Students can make purchases using cash or their eWallet balance. The eWallet is funded by family and friends and redeemable during the fair. It’s a cash-free and worry-free way to allow students to shop the book fair.
Special Events
We have special events each day of the book fair. No purchases are required to join. See below to learn more about them:
Monday: Virtual Book Fair – 6pm
Families can join a special Zoom virtual book fair and browse the fair virtually with one of our volunteers. Once you’re done, payments can be made via the eWallet and the books given to your children the next day.
Tuesday: Craft Time – Make Your Own Bookmark – 5pm
Join in the fun of making your own mark – bookmark, that is! Don’t lose your place again in your favorite book *while supplies last
