eWallet

A safe alternative to cash, families can set up Book Fair eWallets for students to spend at the Book Fair.  eWallets can be used during the fair or shopping online.  Any unused funds can be spent at the Scholastic store at a later date.  To get set-up, families can visit the Covington Book Fair homepage.

SUPPORT OUR COVINGTON TEACHERS AND CLASSROOMS

Our Covington teachers will choose books for their classrooms and place them in their own "wish list" book boxes located in the fair.  Many current and former students often purchase these books for their teachers and classrooms.  

BOOK DRIVE

During this weeklong celebration of reading, we will be running a book donation drive for Access Books Bay Area, a local organization working to bridge the gap in access to literacy for students throughout the Bay Area.  Covington families are encouraged to donate gently used children's books or purchase new books for this great cause.  Collection boxes will be set-up in the multi during the Book Fair.  All proceeds from the raffle will go to purchasing books for this drive.

VOLUNTEER

We need volunteers to help with this fun-filled week.  If you are interested, please sign up here.
