The Scholastic Book Fair is returning to SLLIS on Monday, November 1st. Students in person will have the opportunity to visit the fair at SLLIS, and we will be running a virtual book fair alongside it for our virtual students.
For our in-person students, we are strongly recommending the use of the e-wallet system. This allows students to shop at the book fair as they would normally but will use their pre-paid account instead of cash. eWallet funds are not refundable.
Any unused eWallet funds that remain after the Book Fair ends, or if the Book Fair is canceled, are available for use in the Scholastic Store Online.
Click the link below for more information on both the in-person and virtual book fairs and to learn more about the e-wallet system: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/stlouislanguageimmersion1
Thank you for supporting our student’s love of reading!
