Olde Providence Elementary's Spring Book Fair will be Monday, March 9th- Friday, March 13th, 2025.  This is your hub for all things Book Fair!

 Bookfair Shopping

Monday March 9- Friday March 13

All students will come with their class during their assigned media special to shop at the bookfair. Parents are welcome to come shop with their child. 

We will also have open shopping times before school from 7:45-8:15. Students must be accompanied by an adult to come during this time. *Enter through the school main door and adults will need photo ID to sign in. The bookfair will also be open during Community Night Thursday March 12 from 4:30-7:00 for evening shopping. Students absent during their assigned shopping day can come to make up shopping on Friday March 13 from 10:05-11:05 with permission from their teacher.  You can find the class shopping schedule here.

Payment Options

If you would like a cashless option for your child, Scholastic offers an eWallet that you can fund for your child to shop with at the fair. The eWallet will only be active for this fair. After Friday, when the fair ends, any remaining funds in the eWallet will be transferred into a gift card. This will never expire. It can be used to shop online but will not be available at the next bookfair in gift card format. Meaning, you will need to create a new eWallet and you can use your gift card to fund it. Set up an eWallet at:  scholastic.com/bf/oldeprovidenceelementarysch. 

Find step-by-step eWallet directions here.

Other payment options are cash, check payable to Olde Providence Elementary PTA (change can be given), credit cards, tap-to-pay options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. No debit cards that require a pin. 

Share the Fair!

If you would like to help all of our OP Knights be able to shop with their classmates, consider donating to our “Share the Fair” fund. This money stays at our school to directly help our students. Donate while setting up your eWallet or click here. 

Classroom Donations

Help our teachers build classroom libraries! Each teacher will have a bin at the bookfair filled with books that they would like to add to their classroom. You can purchase at the bookfair, fill out a sticker to put inside the book to say it was donated by you. Then leave the book in the “purchased for teachers box” to get delivered at the end of the fair. 

Volunteer

Lots of help will be needed to set up the fair, help children shop during school, run cash registers, and pack up after the fair. Pick a time slot (or several) here to come in and help! (You do not need to sign up to shop with your child.)  All adults entering the building during school hours will sign in with ID, to volunteer you must be a registered volunteer through CMS. Sign up here.
