Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them to become Bolder, Prouder, and Stronger Readers. AND—as always—every book they buy earns rewards for our school.
Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from Monday, October 31st – Friday, November 4th in the middle school library.
This year, 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 Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

Good afternoon. I am a teacher at McClain High School and I would like to reach out to businesses in the Greenfield (or surrounding) community.
I am the adviser for Drug Free Clubs of America which gives students the ability to say "No, I can't. I get tested" if they find themselves in high-pressure situations. These students have many incentives like free pizza, donuts, catered lunch, t-shirts, big giveaways, and community rewards.
Today, I'm looking for businesses that would like to participate in the community rewards program or team up with other businesses to provide new t-shirts. If you are interested in supporting this wonderful program, please contact me at lori.tuttle@greenfieldmcclain.org.
Our phones are now working. We apologize for the inconvenience!
Our phones are currently down. We are working to get them back up as soon as possible.
