Scholastic Book Fair - Tarpon Springs
2025-01-27 08:00 - 2025-01-31 15:00 | Tarpon Springs, 2795 Keystone Rd, Tarpon Springs, FL, 34688, United States
We are so excited to be able to host our Scholastic Book Fair again this year!! {In-person & Online purchasing options available}
This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. A love of independent reading boosts academic success, plus children who read more frequently also report improved mental health.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: January 27th – January 30th
Location: Music Room
Family Event schedule and location: After the PTO Meeting on 1/29 (meeting is 3:30-4:30)
There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage:
https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/platoacademytarponsprings
While you visit and browse books on our homepage, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. You can also share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds for your student(s). When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the FairTM. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair. Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.

Happy reading.

PS: Need one more reason to visit the Book Fair? Every purchase at the Fair benefits our school!
