VOLUNTEERS NEEDED ON PTA COMMITTEES
We are still in need of volunteers! We have at least 1 volunteer for all committees with the exception of Whale Mart! Please consider volunteering for the Whale Mart so this activity can continue! You can email the Nominations Committee below if you are interested or have any questions. We still have a number of spaces open on many committees (like Birthday Bash and Movie Night). Check out the committee descriptions here.
Thank you to all that have committed to giving their time and energy for next year to keep BHES traditions alive for our children!

BOOK FAIR IS THIS WEEK! UPDATED TEACHER LIST!
The SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR starts tomorrow thru May 8th! A portion of all sales goes to support the Bradley Hills Media Center and the PTA.
Here’s a quick set of answers to your most pressing book fair questions!
Do we need volunteers?
YES! Please sign up HERE. Just an hour of your time would be amazing. We still have a lot of open slots that need to be filled.
NEW this time - the volunteer slots have dropped to 1-hour slots. Sign up for 1 or more! We need all the support we can get to make this a successful book fair.
When can my child buy books?
- Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday with their teachers/classes (list of classroom visit times is UPDATE HERE)
- Thursday morning (9am - 12p) on their own if they have payment and a pass from their teacher
When can parents/caregivers buy books?
- Tuesday night from 6:00pm - 8:00pm
- Wednesday after school from 3:00pm - 4:00pm
- During your child's class time - volunteer to help or just stop in
What forms of payment do you accept?
- Scholastic eWALLET
- Cash
- Credit card
- Apple pay
What is an eWallet and how do I set one up?
Scholastic eWallet account is basically a book fair debit account.
- Set one up for your child HERE.
- If you set up an ewallet account last year, YOU STILL MUST LOG ON AND REACTIVATE IT. Any remaining money is still available, but does not roll over automatically.
- To purchase books, your child just needs to share their name with the cashier, or you can print out the eWallet receipt.
- Once you add money to the eWallet account you cannot be refunded. BUT any leftover eWallet funds will be converted to an e-card balance that you can use on Scholastic.com at any time or during next year’s book fair.
- Don’t forget to factor in tax when trying to determine how much to include in the eWallet account.
Do you have other questions?
Please contact the PTA Book Fair email here: bhesptabookfair@gmail.com
Thank you for your support!
