Have you heard?! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Alberton School and, this year, we have several different ways for you to shop, pay, and support the students + library! Virtual Shopping will be open from April 21st-May 4th. In-person shopping runs from April 25th-28th. Students may be sent with cash OR you can set up an eWallet, where funds are immediately available for use at both the in-school and virtual book fairs. Plus, family and friends can contribute too! You will find a link at the bottom of this message that will give you information on the book fair, as well as easy instructions for setting up your eWallet. Alberton School recognizes that we all have our ups and downs, and sometimes extra expenses, such as a book, are not in the monthly family budget. Your donation will ensure every student can experience our special brand of #bookjoy with their classmates and leave the Fair with something they’ll love! Here’s a look at how your sponsorship donations can make a meaningful difference (the average cost of a book at the fair is $8): Sponsor a classroom library with a $24 donation Sponsor 5 students with a $40 donation Sponsor an entire class with an $80 donation Since our in-person Book Fair runs from 4/25-28, we hope to receive contributions by April 26th to ensure time for students to shop for their book. Ready to join us? Click the link below to deposit funds directly into our school's Scholastic Book Fair eWallet account OR make a check payable to Alberton School (with Book Fair in the memo) and drop it off during regular school hours.
