Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! 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. Our Book Fair is happening online now. We will have an on campus Book Fair from September 16th until September 20th. Students can shop without cash thanks to Book Fair eWallet and teachers can use eWallet to build their classroom libraries. Parents, grandparents, and friends - you can donate online for your JLCCS child through the website below.
Additionally, we are also looking for some Book Fairies: these are individuals who can donate money to eWallet and allow students to buy books who might not have an opportunity otherwise.
