The Book Fair start Monday!
Hi! Our fall Scholastic Book Fair will be held Monday, September 29th - Friday, October 3rd. Click HERE to see the Steck Book Fair On the website, you will find links to set-up eWallets, online shopping and answers to other FAQs. eWallets are the preferred method of payment!
Two important reminders:
Creating an eWallet is the simplest, most stress free option for sending your kids with funds
instead of easily misplaced/hard to handle cash. A NEW eWallet must be created EVERY year
for your book fair kids! If you have unused funds from a previous fair, they have been converted
to e-funds on Scholastic’s website, and you may transfer them to a new e-wallet this year. Easy
to follow instructions are found on our book fair homepage link below. Steck staff will not have
access to this capability during the fair, so please double check the e-wallets are set to go
before the fair starts!
Don’t forget TAX! There is a 9.15% sales tax added to the price of every purchase at
Scholastic book fairs in Denver, CO. Some kids may have a hard time understanding what that
actually means for what they can afford. A conversation with older kiddos around the 9.15%
sales tax and some pre-planning for the younger ones may help avoid any confusion and
disappointment.
Ex. $20 (book) x .0915 (9.15% sales tax) = $21.83
Location and Shopping Schedules:
This year the fair will be held in the Steck auditorium (enter/exit only through the outside doors) and will be bigger than ever!
