Book Fair

April 28-May 2
Discover Paradise in Pages at the Book Fair


The book fair is back April 28 through May 2! Our Scholastic Book Fair is our school library's fundraiser that has a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Providing access to exciting new books is a great way to be involved in shaping your child's reading habits and will motivate them to read more.
 
The book fair is an important part of Bella Vista Elementary Library's fundraising efforts. It enables our library to purchase new books and materials. Thank you for supporting our fair.

NO CASH? NO PROBLEM!


Convenient and secure, Scholastic eWallet lets your student choose books they want to read!
 
Instead of sending your student to school with cash for the book fair, you can now easily create an eWallet. This allows your student to spend a pre-allotted amount of money on books at the fair, without you worrying about cash getting lost or stolen. Simply set up an account, print out the eWallet barcode and have funds immediately available for your student to shop. Any leftover funds can be used online or at a future fair.
 
Plus, books always make great gifts! You can set up your eWallet up to 3 weeks prior to the fair and share your eWallet link so friends and family can help your student find even more to read.
 
 
coin war

Bring in $2 dollars or donate your spare change to our coin war! This is a fun challenge to see which grade will bring in the most (calculated by student). Each student in the winning grade will receive a voucher for a Panda Express Cub Kid's Meal!
 
Donations will benefit our Share the Fair program. Your act of kindness helps bring more knowledge, imagination and love for reading to our students.

 


Our Book Fair will be **coinless**! Purchases can be made using coins, but coin change will not be provided for cash purchases, making transactions smoother & quicker for your student.
 
All rounded-up transactions will go to our "Share the Fair" initiative, providing books for our students in need and supporting our classroom libraries. It's a win-win for everyone!
