This Week Only!
Buy One, Get One FREE Book Fair

We are so excited for this week's Buy One, Get One FREE Book Fair at East Hanover! If your student shops at the fair, they may select one item and receive another item of equal or lesser value FREE!

Details:
This year's spring book fair will be held through May 3. Your student may shop during their normal scheduled library class. (Click here to view a schedule). Or you may attend Family Shopping Night on Tuesday, May 1 from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m.

Payment:
As with other fairs, you may send in cash or check made payable to East Hanover PTO in an envelope with your child's name. Make sure to include TAX in your calculations. If you are sending in a check, we kindly ask that you include a note with the amount you are allowing your child to spend.

There is also a new digital payment option for students called eWallet! You create an account on our book fair homepage (http://www.scholastic.com/bf/easthanoverld) and load money onto your child's account with a credit or debit card. You will then be prompted to print out a barcode that can be used to access those funds when your child shops. Any unused money gets credited back to your account at the end of the book fair. If you do not have access to a printer, Mrs. Conley, the librarian, can print the eWallet codes each morning.

Online Shopping:
If you are unable to attend the Book Fair in person, we invite you to shop our online Book Fair here.

Volunteering:
We are still looking for volunteers for the Book Fair. If you have your clearances on file in the district office and are interested in volunteering at the Book Fair, please sign up here.

We look forward to seeing you and your family at our Book Fair and we thank you for your participation! All purchases benefit our school!
