    It’s Book Fair Time!

    Let’s celebrate reading with the PS153 Parents Association (PA) by supporting the Spring Book Fair! The fair will run from May 20th – 23rd in the PS153 Community Room.

    Students can purchase books with cash or from their eWallet balance during the school day. Parents may use their credit cards to purchase books anytime during the fair.

    A portion of all purchases are used to support the PA budget and our year long programming.

    Raffle!

    We will also be a holding a Book Fair Raffle for each grade. Tickets are $3. Raffle tickets will be drawn at the spring shown on June 12th.

    Important: sales tax will be added to all purchases.

    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.
