Capital Preparatory Magnet School - The Road to College begins at Capital Prep

Book Fair Next Week! Dear 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 purchase at the Fair benefits our school. Here’s what you need to know about the big event, which will take place from March 3rd to March 7th. Teachers will sign up for specific days and times for their students to shop the book fair. 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. If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school. Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: Capital Prep Fair Homepage https://www.scholastic.com/bf/capitalpreparatorymagnetsch The countdown to more Bookjoy is on! Catch you at the Fair! Happy reading, Dr. Kitsia H. Ferguson Principal Capital Preparatory Magnet School
