Scholastics Book Fair!

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Fairmount April 20-23! Students will have the opportunity to shop during their library class, at recess, before school, and during Multicultural Night.

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. Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more. Students may also use cash or check made out to Fairmount Elementary for purchases. Every purchase made at the fair helps us raise money to buy books for our library!
