Hello Ironwood Families,
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Ironwood next week! Due to an unforeseen delivery the book fair will be held for 2 weeks instead of one. 04/14-04/25. I am super excited for this year's book fair as we have new books coming to the students. Another great tool to use during the book fair is the eWallet feature, which is located on the Book Fair Homepage. If you click the link it will walk you through it. You can add as much funds as you would like for your student to spend at the book fair. You can also have family members and friends add to the eWallet if you would like. A school eWallet has been created as well to help support the All for Books fund, which is used directly for the students who do not have the same opportunities. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at c.r.huegel@maranausd.org. W
