BHES BOOK FAIR (APRIL 24-27)
The BHES PTA Book Fair is happening from April 24-27! This fair's theme is "Bolder Stronger Prouder Reader." We have contests and fun activities planned to celebrate! Shopping may be done in-person by students and by parents daily from 9:15a - 2:30p. Teachers will be bringing students to the fair as a class. Parents may join their students during their class shopping time. Look for email communication from the teachers regarding your student's shopping day/time. Sign-in at the front office before heading to the media center to meet your student.
Parents and students can come shop outside of school hours on Tuesday, April 25 from 6-8 PM.
Want to help out with the fair?
Volunteer: We're seeking volunteer parents to help staff the fair for set-up, class visits, and pack-up. Volunteers must complete the child abuse and neglect training and show proof of vaccination. Click here to volunteer:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080F4CABAC2AA4FA7-bhes6Purchase Books: The easiest way to help is to purchase books during the classroom book fair visits. Scholastic rewards a generous percentage of our sales back to us as Scholastic Dollars, which are used to purchase books for our media center and classrooms. More than one of our recent in-person fairs provided over $5000 worth of books to our school, all purchased with our rewards!
Purchase books for Teachers: Another way to help is to purchase books for classroom libraries. Books chosen by our teachers will be available for purchase at the fair.
Set up an eWallet: eWallet is an easy way to send your child to the fair with money in an online account, where it can't be lost. Please visit our fair homepage to set up an eWallet for your child before their class visits, or to check or reload the balance on an existing eWallet. Please note that funds added to an eWallet that aren't used will be available for use at Scholastic.com and/or at a later BHES PTA Book Fair, but will not be refunded.
*A note on online purchases: You can also support the school by shopping online from https://www.scholastic.com/bf/bhessbf.
