Welcome from Mr. Hiley

Dear Ivan Green Families:

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every book purchase at the Fair benefits our school.

Here’s what you need to know about the book fair, which will take place from October 21st- October 25th during your child’s library special, in the library.

This year, once again, say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy. Cash, however, will still be accepted as well.

Just click on the QR code below to visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

The countdown to more book joy is on! Catch you at the Fair!

Sincerely,

Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.
Principal
