NEWS & UPDATES FROM NEWCASTLE ELEMENTARY PTSA

 
Important Information on the Book Fair 

Please read the following information carefully. 

We have three important parts: 1) Schedule, 2) eWallet, and 3) Volunteer Opportunities.

NEWCASTLE SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR IS BACK! 

The Scholastic Book Fair will be held in our library from March 18 - March 22. All proceeds will buy books for homeroom classroom libraries! Students can shop on their own during their assigned lunch recess or with an adult on family shopping day. 

1) Schedule

The schedule is as follows:

· Monday, March 18, during lunch/recess: 11:30am-1:30pm (1st, K, 2nd)

· Monday, March 18, after school: 4:00-6:00pm (Family Shopping)

Family Shopping Note: An adult must accompany children.

· Tuesday, March 19, during lunch/recess: 11:30am-1:30pm (5th, 3rd, 4th)

· Wednesday, March 20, during lunch/recess: 11:30am-1:30pm (Teacher Shopping, TK)

· Thursday, March 21, during lunch/recess: 11:30am-1:30pm (1st, TK, K, 2nd)

· Friday, March 22, during lunch/recess: 11:30am-1:30pm (5th, 3rd, 4th)

2) eWallet

This year, parents can choose to create an eWallet for their children to spend at the fair, which means they won’t have to carry cash to school. Here is a video describing what eWallet is: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/fairs/videos/intro-to-ewallet-fair-files.html.

Directions for creating an eWallet:

- Click on this link: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/newcastleelementaryschool9

- Scroll down to “Get Started” under the eWallet Photo

- Then scroll down to “Get Started” under Create eWallet

- Sign in or create an account (if you do not already have one with Scholastic)

Please Note: eWallets do NOT return funds so if a child has $20 in their eWallet and only spends $17, that money is not returned. It will remain in their wallet for next year's fair.
