Scholastic Book Fair

DETAILS:

Description: The Book Fair is an exciting opportunity to nurture your children's love of reading, discover new books, and support the PTA in the process.

Where: Sequoyah Elementary School Media Center

Date: October 28, 2024 - November 1, 2024

Time: Books can be purchased at school.  On Tuesday October 29th, the media center will be open until 6pm for after school hour browsing and purchasing.

Set up an eWallet for your child:

Students can purchase with cash or you can make it easy and set up an “eWallet” account for them online through Scholastic. This works like a prepaid credit card, where the children can spend down what is on their account.

To set up your child's eWallet, set up here:  https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/fairs/how-ewallet-works.html?fairId=5650880

Help Give the Gift of Books:

New books can be expensive, but the PTA believes that every child should have unobstructed access to them. There are some families right here in our Derwood community that could use your help in making that a reality for their children. To that end, the PTA will be setting up an eWallet that we will use to help purchase books from our Book Fair for those in need.

A link for the the PTA eWallet will be available HERE or by clicking on the image below to make your tax-deductible donation. Note:  Donations are made in the same page as the eWallet set-up.

If you would like to request assistance for your student or family, please email Mrs. Ivette Sherman, our Guidance Counselor, at Ivette_D_Sherman@mcpsmd.org.

Volunteer:

As with all of our events, we need your help to make the Book Fair a success. If you are able, a Signup Genius will be available HERE and distributed prior to the event.

All volunteers will need to take a 30-minute online safety course and provide proof of vaccination via the MCPS volunteer website. 

Updates:

We will update the Sequoyah community by e-mail, newsletters, and on our Facebook pages as more information becomes available. Stay up to date by joining our private Facebook group HERE.
