Book Fair
It’s a Dino-Mite Book Fair

Zion’s Annual Book Fair is coming up!  It’s going to be Dino-Mite!  All proceeds will benefit the Zion School Library.  This year, our All For Books donations will help the The Arch Community School, the charter school at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Louis.

NEW this year is the option for parents and kids to pay with the Book Fair eWalletMany parents don’t carry cash anymore, or have cash on hand when their child delivers the news… “Mom! Dad! It’s Book Fair day!”  The eWallet is a digital payment option offered through Scholastic that gives parents a safer alternative to sending their children to school with cash.  It’s easily funded using a credit card, but with the convenience of setting a spending limit.   See the flyer in Friday Folders on how to set up your students’ eWallet by visiting http://www.scholastic.com/bf/zionlutheranschool4     


This must be done prior to their class’ visit to the book fair in order to be utilized.

Book Fair Hours

Wednesday, 3/6 (Class Visit Day/ Ash Wednesday)   8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Thursday, 3/7 (PS/ K Grandparents Day)    8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Diary of An Awesomely Friendly Kid Pre-Sale

Our students also have the opportunity to pre-order a specially priced paperback edition of Jeff Kinney’s new book series, Diary of An Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson’s Journal.  To order your copy, complete the pre-sale form and either return it to your child’s teacher with payment (don’t forget the tax!) or send the order form with your student on their book fair day.  Order Forms will come home on March 1st. The book is scheduled for release on 4/9/19, and the students should receive their copy within 5-7 days.
