The Scholastic Book Fair will be back at our school this fall, October 3rd-10th.
Create an eWallet for your child to save the hassle of sending cash! The eWallet is your child's own personal spending account for the Fair that you can add money to. This will eliminate the worry of their money being lost or stolen. All leftover funds on their account can be spent on the Scholastic website. Family and friends can also add funds to your child's eWallet if you share the link with them. If you have created an eWallet for your child in the past, just be sure to use the same login as before when you create the new one.
Here's how to set up an eWallet account:
📚Go to our Fair homepage: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/minnewaukanschool
📚Scroll down to the red box titled Book Fair eWallet is the easy way to pay' and click 'Get Started'
📚Click 'Create an eWallet'
📚Fill in all your child's information
✨Share the link with friends and family if you'd like others to help fund their eWallet!
This week we met with students in grades 7–11 who currently participate in volleyball, girls’ basketball, and boys’ basketball to discuss options for the future, as our coop with Four Winds will be ending. Our coop with Devils Lake will remain unchanged for those activities.
We explored new coop possibilities in VB, GBB, and BBB and reached out to Devils Lake, New Rockford-Sheyenne, Maddock, and Warwick. Of these schools, only Warwick expressed interest in forming a coop. We also discussed the option of forming our own teams. Both approaches have advantages and challenges, which were reviewed with students and are summarized in this post.
Next week, we will survey the students involved. They will choose one of three responses:
Coop with Warwick
Form our own teams
No preference
We have encouraged students to talk through these options with their families. If you have questions, please contact Mr. Dennis. MPS remains committed to providing the best opportunities for our students, and we appreciate your support as we move through this transition.
