SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR IS BACK!!!!!!!!!
SEE YOU ON MAY 19-20-21 AT HCS GYM
Dear Families,
Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. A love of independent reading boosts academic success, plus children who read more frequently also report improved mental health[1].
Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: May 19th – May 21st
Location: Holy Cross School
There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage:

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.
When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called
Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books
from the Fair.
Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
Happy reading,
Mr. Struna
Principal
Holy Cross School
