Reading is a Gift: Holiday Book Fair
December 3-6
Kick off the season with the Saint Mark’s 2024 Holiday Book Fair: Reading is a Gift! Join us from December 3-6 for a festive celebration of literacy—coming quicker than you think! Keep an eye out for Book Fair flyers coming home with your child this week.
Prepare for the Book Fair
Make sure to load your Scholastic eWallet for your student(s) ahead of their shopping days. It’s a safe, cashless way to ensure they can pick out their favorite books. You can create one wallet for each child. Visit the scholastic eWallet site to set up and add funds today!
Our Online Book Fair will unwrap on Tuesday, December 3! This is a great place to shop if you can’t come in person, particularly for Preschool-1st graders who will only have preview opportunities at school. Create holiday wishlists with your readers, and share with out-of-town family and friends for great holiday gifts!
After-school shopping will be available on Wednesday and Thursday, 2:30-5 pm, and Friday during the event.
