Scholastic Book Fair
October 21-October 25
This year’s annual Scholastic Book Fair begins on Monday, October 21st through Friday, October 25th. This is the same week as our Parent Teacher Conferences. What a wonderful opportunity students, parents, and community members to shop outside school hours.
The book fair in our library will be open during these days and times:
- Closed before school. Sorry!
- During school at recess and lunch. Just a side note-visiting the fair at these times does not excuse being late to class! Plan ahead.
- Monday through Friday from 8:00a.m. to 3:30p.m.
How to pay for items at the book fair? We accept the following payment at the fair; eWallet, cash, credit cards and checks payable to Arena Elementary School.

What is eWallet?
No more bills stuffed in backpacks! At the Scholastic Book Fair, kids shop without cash thanks to eWallet, a digital payment account for purchases at the Fair. Family and friends contribute funds. Then kids choose their own books. It’s convenient, simple, and secure.
How does it work?
It starts on your school’s Book Fair homepage. A child’s family follows a link to create a free eWallet account. There are three ways to fund an account: Add money with a credit card, use funds from a previous eWallet, or invite friends and extended fam to contribute.
Because funds are available immediately, a child can shop the Fair with eWallet right away. Families can use a leftover balance to fund an eWallet for a future Fair.
