Extended Hours

The Book Fair will be open later than usual from 4:00-6:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We are inviting families to come shop the fair after school hours while picking up kids from Bar-T and afterschool activities. Please stop in to check out our great selection of books and gifts!

 

We need Volunteers!

We can’t pull this off without your help, even if you have never volunteered before, this is the time to do it! We need help before and after school as well as during the school day for class visits. If you want to help out please sign up through SignUpGenius or contact Natalia Hilliard at hilliardmn@starpower.net.

Anyone and everyone is welcome, whether you can come for an hour or stay for a day, please consider pitching in!

 

Purchasing Books during Class Visits to the Fair and eWallet

With parents’ permission, students can purchase books on their own during their visit, we accept cash, checks and eWallet. Please refrain from sending your child to school with you credit card. All checks should be made payable to CGES PTA.

 

eWallet is simple and great way to let your child shop the book fair cash free. You, as parent, provide billing information on the Scholastic website and set spending limit for your student, Book Fair doesn’t bill you until your student actually buys the books and only for the amount of purchase up to the spending limit. Please refer to the back of this letter for additional information and FAQs.

 

If you prefer to send cash or check for the younger children, please place it in an envelope and write the teacher’s name and child’s name on the front of the envelope when you send it to school with your child.

 

Student Wish Lists

If students do not have money when they visit the Book Fair, they will have the opportunity to fill out a wish list.  When returning the wish list to school, please indicate whether a book of similar price may be substituted if the original requested book is no longer available. We accept cash, checks and eWallet. All checks should be made payable to CGES PTA.

 

Classroom Wish Lists

Each teacher has a wish list of books they think would be a great addition to their classroom libraries.  Please ask a volunteer where to find your teacher’s classroom wish list when you visit the fair.
