Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Tumwata Middle School next week! This is a great opportunity to build your child’s home library with new books they’ll dive into again and again.
The easiest way to let your child shop the Fair independently is by creating an eWallet. It’s easy to set up and easy for others to add funds. To set up an eWallet, visit the Tumwata Book Fair home page at https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/tumwatamiddleschool.
On our home page, you will also have the opportunity to make a donation to Tumwata's Share the Fair account. This account supports students at our school who need help buying books. Consider donating today so that no child leaves the Fair empty-handed!
Tumwata's Book Fair will be held during normal school hours, November 18-22, and from 1:00pm - 8:00pm during Family and Friends day on November 24.
Lastly, consider becoming a Book Fair volunteer! When you give your time, it helps make our Fair an unforgettable reading experience where every purchase benefits our school directly.
