Our Scholastic Book Fair Begins Tomorrow!

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR OPENS MONDAY! The Scholastic Book Fair is returning to SLLIS on Monday, April 12th. 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 bookfair 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 cancelled, are available for use in the Scholastic Store Online.
