Book Fair

Everything to Know about the 2023 Scholastic Book Fair at Chestnutwold

Mark your calendars! This year the Scholastic Book Fair will run from Monday, November 27 to Friday, December 1.

All students will visit the fair during their library time during the school week, and you will have an opportunity to shop on two family nights, Tuesday, November 28 and Thursday, November 30, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.

***This year we will be limiting our use of plastic bags, so we are asking everyone to bring their own reusable bag to the book fair. If you have extra reusable bags that you’d like to donate for students to use at the book fair, please add them to the bin in the front vestibule or library.***

Here are ways you can get ready for the fair and support literacy and STEAM at Chestnutwold:

Note that you can send cash in an envelope marked with your child’s name and homeroom the week of the book fair.

You can also purchase books online during the book fair at our Scholastic Book Fair webpage. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/chestnutwoldelementaryschool 

Important notes about eWallets: As noted above, funds placed on eWallets are not refunded if they are not used at the fair, but they can be used for future purchases through your scholastic account.

  • After the Book Fair, unused eWallet funds will convert to an eGift card balance within 24 hours. Families can use eGift cards to shop online in The Scholastic Store. So you remember your funds, Scholastic sends monthly email reminders of monetary balances.

  • If you had an eWallet last year, check if you still have funds from last year. If you would like, you can apply them to your new eWallet account for this year.

  • This year, student eWallet balances less than $1.50 may be used to help other students who may be a little short on change for their purchase. If you wish to opt out of this, please email tracydoney@gmail.com before Monday November 27, 2023.

  • For more information on eWallets, visit https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/fairs/ewallet.html
