Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Valencia Elementary!

This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:

• Dates: September 30th-October 4th
• Location: Valencia Elementary Library
• More information on our school’s Book Fair homepage

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds. When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair. Need one more reason to visit the Book Fair? Every purchase benefits our school!
