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.
