Our GRAND OPENING is Saturday November 8th at our Fall Festival from 2PM - 5PM. Our theme this year is "Reading Under the Stars." The fair goes until 1PM on Friday November14th.
1) To make this fair as secure and easy as possible for all our students, staff members, and parents, this will be a NO CASH book fair. We're asking parents to please set up a Scholastic eWallet account for their children HERE. It's easy to create an eWallet for your student. Simply add funds or invite family and friends to contribute. It provides a safe, cashless way for students to shop for their books in person and provides a secure contactless check-out. Scholastic recommends using Chrome as your browser and creating the eWallet using a computer instead of your phone. Also, if you'd like to contribute funds for students who may not be able to purchase a book, you can do that through the "Share the Fair" link HERE.
2) We'll be open on Saturday (11/08) during the Fall Festival from 2:00-5:00pm, then on Monday (11/10), Tuesday (11/11) and Thursday (11/13), from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Parents may purchase books using credit cards, debit cards, or eWallet accounts. Also, on Wednesday, November 12th we'll close at 3:00 pm, but then re-open from 5:30-7:00 pm for our family night event. It's also STEM night, so after doing some book shopping, head over to the cafeteria to participate in some fun STEM activities! In addition, Rosemary's Treats and Kona Ice will be at Mills that evening to provide some delicious treats. It should be a fun night for our Mills community!
3) All students will be coming to the Book Fair with their classes at a scheduled time during the week of November 10th-14th. We ask that if your child plans to purchase books at school, their eWallet account is set up by Monday, November 10th. To make shopping easier for your child, you can determine which items you'd like to purchase ahead of time by browsing the interactive book flyer and book trailer videos HERE .
Please let me know if you have any questions. All Book Fair proceeds will benefit the library. Thank you for your help in making this a fun, safe, and successful event!
