Hello Arete Families,
Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is here at our school!  Every purchase at the Fair benefits our school!

Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:

Dates: Wednesday, March 26th to Tuesday, April 1st

Location: The Library

Payments: Scholastic E-Wallet, Cash, Credit cards,  Student Funds,  and Checks (payable to Arete School), 

• Student Funds: If you would like to use student funds then parents must fill out a budget form to use the funds towards book only purchases at the book fair. Budgets must be turned in at least 1 day before to Mary in the front office. The amount can not exceed $100. The books purchased with the students funds will be tagged and checked out to your student as a library book until the end of the current school year.
• E-Wallet: 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 Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.

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

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,

Kate Dabney
