Each class has an opportunity to wander through the Book Fair and students make lists of books (and prices) to bring home. Younger students have adult volunteers to help them. Whether you have to buy all of them depends on who you ask--certainly, your child will say, "Yes!". Please know that the Book Fair is big fundraiser for the DCES Library, so while you might be tempted to just buy the books on Amazon, please consider buying straight from the Book Fair! During the Book Fair, there will also be a link to shop online. Funds raised from both Book Fairs go directly to our school Library! You may send in cash, but we strongly recommend setting up a digital e-wallet through Scholastic. Credit cards/tap wallets are also accepted onsite. Of course, you also have the option of coming to the Fair yourself, either during the day, after school, or at Family Night.
