The Book Fair is Coming!
We are excited to announce that we will be having a fall book fair this month! Reading for pleasure inside and outside of school has real and long-lasting benefits. It unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are.
Book Fair Dates: Oct. 31st-Nov. 7th
Shopping Hours: 7:40-3:00
The book fair will open immediately after the book character parade. You will need a badge to shop at the book fair. Students may shop during their designated library time, at their teacher’s discretion, or at lunch with a parent. The weekly library schedule is below this letter.

Shopping the Book Fair:
If you have a younger child and want to include a list from our flier we will be happy to help them find books or similar books to those selected in the flier. Please also communicate with your child’s teacher about purchasing needs (ie. on level books only, no gaming books, no diaries, or only one pen/eraser toy, etc.) All sales are final, so please feel free to include a note with the money you send or message your teacher if you have created an eWallet so we can help your children purchase what you would like.
If you are sending cash with your student, please place cash in a baggy, with your student’s name on it, and mark it for the book fair. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT CHECKS AT BOOK FAIR. We will also not allow students to spend 100 dollar bills unless we have contacted you first.
Don’t want to send cash?
Don’t want to send cash? No problem! Go to https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/haudeelementaryschool and activate your child’s eWallet. You can add money for them to spend at the book fair. You can also share their eWallent on social media to have family add to their accounts. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or to fund an eWallet at a future fair. We highly recommend eWallets so that students don’t have to carry cash. We can look up their accounts on the register so there’s no need for you to print anything at home.
Thank you for your support,
