I have a love/hate relationship with the book fairs.

Our school has a “share the fair” fund that parents can donate to so that kids who don’t show up with money can still choose a book. This year we had over $800 available, and every single kid in the school got a book!

What a sweet boy to recognize that feeling and step in to make a solid point. Direction like that can come across so much better from a peer sometimes.

The fact that she felt “Safe” enough to even verbalize the feeling is saying a lot about you as a mom. She knows you are a safe place where she can share her feelings.

If the PTO is in charge of the book fair, could they allow every child who didn’t get a book to pick one at the end of the fair? That’s what we do, and we pay for it.

We do the book fair the same week as grandparents week. Each grade level's grandparents come on a different day of the week and the kids shop with them. We ask everyone to round up at the check out and that is how we raise money for the kids who need it. We also have the entire district staff step up and stand in as grandparents for those who have no one show up. Every kid in our school got a book from the book fair, whether they had money or not.

My mom used to help run the book fairs and she would do a Costco shop before hand for fun pencils, erasers, etc and made sure kids were able to take something from the book fair

As the kid who often could only get a pencil at the scholastic fair if I was lucky, this hit me in the feels today.

The sweet girl is thinking about her own mom and the way you provide loving guidance during this time for her. your son's wisdom and ability to speak up is so beautiful. autonomy with support is the greatest confidence builder. may she find confidence in herself and your family during these unsure times in her life. 💕😭

As a teacher I always go to the dollar store and buy some small goodies/books for my kiddos who can’t afford something from the book fair! I set up a little book fair in my room and the kids can “shop” in there instead! ☺️

Scholastic Book Fair has Share The Fair. Students can round up their total with the additional money going into that fund and also other parents and families can donate to Share The Fair ahead of time. When we promote the book fair we always highlight that. As a PTO we never let a kid leave without a book and we use the Share The Fair or other funds to cover it.

Thank you for making sure kids get books! As a teacher, I keep track of which kids get to go, then use my wish basket and $50 our PTO so graciously gives us to make sure every kid in my class gets at least 1 new book to take home

The book fair is a great fundraiser for our school! It’s helps pay for lost or damaged books and keep our library updated!

Our school allows us to send names of kids who wouldn’t be able to shop the fair so they can get a book and we treat it like they won a surprise contest so they get excited about it and don’t feel ashamed. We also take donations as well as offer rounding up for books to be purchased. I’ve bought many books for students so they can have books.

And the title one schools that do the “pay to play” fundraisers break my heart!!! They did one last year that very night there was a new 20-30$ challenge and the next day you got a giant bracelet they were different colors to code the wealthy kids I swear, they even got exclusive bounce house parties during school! It’s NOT ok!!!

For Read Across America we set up a “book market” and every kid gets to pick a book, for free! It’s one of my favorite things
