Everything you need to know: The PTA hosts a Scholastic Book Fair every year. Though it is a fundraiser, our main goal is to get students excited about reading! We will turn the Media Center into a bookstore for a week. There are many chances to shop. Families can come Friday, Oct 18th starting at 5:30pm or Friday, Oct 25th at 5:30. Students will also have the opportunity to shop during their Media Center time.
we need your help
Our Book Fair this year runs during your child's media hour from October 21-24 AND during our 2 family events - Movie Night and Trunk or Treat. Come out and volunteer for a shift using this sign-up (Oct 18-25, you need to be signed into your account to see it). If you hover over the weekday shift, you will see which classrooms will be in the media center.
Since you will not be supervising children on your own, your Wake County background check does not have to be completed.
ewallets
Similar to last year, we will be using e-wallets to allow students to buy books in a hassle-free cashless manner. There are two separate e-wallets as follows:
|
Personal e-wallet |
Use this link to set up your personal e-wallet Allows the students to buy books for personal use. Allows grandparents/loved ones to directly contribute towards the funds for their students to shop for books The unused funds on your personal e-wallet don’t expire. Remaining funds from last year's e-wallet can be transferred to the new e-wallet as long as you use the same email address. For additional inquiries please contact events@millsparkpta.com
