Time to Explore: The Book Fair Is Coming Next Week!
Get ready, Ponce families!

When: October 6th to 9th
Hours: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m
Where: Ponce de Leon Middle School, room 134
Why the Book Fair Matters
Middle school is when many kids decide whether reading is "their thing."
Letting them browse, pick up a book that catches their eye, and choose for themselves is one of the most powerful ways to keep them reading. The Book Fair puts that choice right in their hands.
It also gives back. A portion of every purchase supports our school, helping bring new books and resources to all Ponce students, including those who may not be able to shop at the fair.
How to Get Ready:
✅ Set up your eWallet this weekend.
✅ Talk with your child about a budget and what kinds of books they'd like to explore.
✅ Can't make it in person? Shop the online fair
✅ Volunteer! We'd love a few extra hands at checkout and restocking.
Going (Almost) Cash-Free with eWallet
This year we're aiming for a nearly cash-free fair, and we need your help! Setting up an eWallet online lets your child shop without carrying cash. It means shorter lines, no lost money, no counting change, and a smoother, faster experience for students and our volunteers.
Set a spending limit if you'd like, so you stay in control.
Your child simply shops, and purchases are charged to their eWallet at checkout. Please set it up before the fair opens so your student is ready on day one.
Every book your child brings home is an invitation to imagine, learn, and grow.
Thank you for helping us make this year's Book Fair smooth, joyful, and cash-free!
