GET READY FOR THE FRANKLIN BOOK FAIR!
Franklin families — Book Fair week begins Monday! Before your student shops with their class, consider setting up a Scholastic eWallet.
eWallet provides students with a safe, cash-free way to shop the Book Fair. Families can add funds online ahead of their student’s visit, so there’s no need to send cash to school.
Through the Book Fair page, families can also contribute to Franklin’s Share the Fair account. Donations help make sure every Franklin student goes home with a book!
Teachers are getting ready for the Book Fair, too! During today’s Teacher Preview, they enjoyed some cookies while filling their Wishlist Boxes with books they would love to add to their classrooms. Book Fair shoppers can purchase a book from a teacher’s wishlist and donate it directly to their classroom.
Set up an eWallet, contribute to Share the Fair and learn more:

Franklin Elementary Remembers 9/11
To honor Patriot Day, we are asking our Vikings to show unity by wearing designated colors this week:
⚪ K–1: White
🔴 2–3: Red
🔵 4–5: Blue
(Don't have your grade's color? Any red, white, or blue shirt works!)
Thank you for helping us honor and remember together!
Franklin Elementary’s Book Fair is September 14–18! Students will have the chance to visit and shop the Book Fair with their class at a time selected by their teacher.
Families are highly encouraged to set up an eWallet before Book Fair week. It’s an easy, cash-free way for students to shop without having to worry about bringing money to school.
