We have some exciting news! The Scholastic Book Fair is happening at SMS next week!
Monday 4/13 - Wednesday 4/15 with makeups on Thursday 4/16.
All students will have the opportunity to shop with their ELA class during the time slot their teacher signed up for.
Here are some important points to remember:
- All items will have sales tax added to them, so please be sure your child has enough money to cover tax, too.
- You can set up an E-wallet easily online through the link below, so that you do not have to send any other form of payment.
This is a fast & easy option. If you choose to use this option, please list your child's ELA teacher in the appropriate field. All unused money will be converted to an e-gift card, which can then be used to shop online or used at a future Scholastic book fair. Be sure to have your child tell the cashier that they have an E-wallet.
& Cash, check (payable to Shumate Middle School), credit card, E-wallet, Apple Pay & Google Pay are all accepted
