Big news for our upcoming Book Fair on Monday! We’re going coinless to support Share the Fair. By rounding up your cash total to the nearest dollar, your extra cents help provide a book for a fellow student who might otherwise go home empty-handed. Want to pay the exact amount? Set up a Scholastic eWallet for a digital, coin-free checkout!
For example: If a student chooses a book that costs $6.45:
The total at the register (after tax) might come to $7.00.
If the student pays with a $10.00 bill, they will receive $3.00 back in change.
The extra $0.55 that would have been coins is automatically donated to Share the Fair.
