Annex Book Fair Starts Wednesday, 10/16!

9/25/2024 1:41 pm

 


Check your students' backpacks in the coming days for the Scholastic Newspaper and the Annex Flyer. 

 

Annex Book Fair Schedule:

Wednesday, October 16 - Students create a wish list to bring home.

Thursday, October 17 - Shopping Day!  Students purchase books!

Friday, October 18 - Teacher shopping day and make-up day.

 

How to Purchase Books For Your Child: 

Pay ahead with eWallet:

  • Visit our fair website and scroll down to eWallet
  • Click “get started”. Follow the steps to add funds for your child to shop with at the Book Fair.
  • Once funds are added to their eWallet, there is no need to send anything to school. Any leftover funds can be used online at Scholastic, or at future fairs.
  • A new e-wallet must be set up for each child every year, so even if you created one last year, you will need to do so again.

Cash and checks will be accepted, too.  Make checks payable to South Mountain PTA.

*6.625% Sales tax will be charged on all purchases

 

How to Purchase Books For Your Child's Classroom Teacher: 

Add money directly to your teacher's eWallet so that they can shop for books for their classroom.  Find teacher eWallet account information here.  Note that teachers are submitting their eWallet information on an ongoing basis.  If you don't see the details for your child's teacher, please check back or contact them directly.    

 

Volunteer at the Book Fair:  

It takes a lot of volunteers to make the Book Fair possible!  Please sign up to help! Volunteer here. 

 Questions? Contact Allison Tragash (atragash@gmail.com) or Kim Gaiti (Kimberly.gaiti@gmail.com)

 

 

If you are unable to purchase a book due to personal hardships, please contact Principal Kevin Mason (kmason@somsd.k12.nj.us) or Ms. Shazaan Napoleon (snapoleo@somsd.k12.nj.us)
