Dear Seward El Families,

It’s Scholastic Book Fair time!!! The fair will be open October 20-23, and each class will have a chance to shop during their library time. Look for letters coming home this week with your student’s class shopping time. The fair will also be open to the public Monday through Wednesday, 2:30-3:30 p.m., and Thursday, Oct. 23, 9:00-1:00.

All proceeds from the fair benefit our school library program!

If you would like your student to be able to make purchases at the book fair, please see below for payment options:

*Cash (preferably in an envelope with your child’s name on it)

*Credit card— Send in a note and include your phone number. I will call you for your credit card information by Wednesday afternoon and your child’s purchase will be set aside until we have processed the payment.

*eWallet – this is a great new credit card payment method. Parents who tried out this option last year said it was super easy and convenient! Please visit this website to set up eWallet. https://www.scholastic.com/bf/sewardelementaryschool1
