BOOK FAIR (MAY 13-16)

2023 Book Fair

The Book Fair is here! 


The Book Fair is running from Monday, May 13 through Thursday, May 16. The Online Fair is open now through May 24.


Thanks to the success of our Fall Book Fair, we will be offering $5* Scholastic Bucks to every student at Butler! That $5* can go towards the purchase of any book at the Book Fair (no accessories). No coupon required – we will apply the $5 at the register. *$5 credit does not include sales tax and must be redeemed in person. Sorry, we cannot apply the $5 credit towards an online book order.


To see when your child’s class is attending SEE HERE. Book Fair purchases can be made with cash, credit card (must be the credit card itself, parent signature required for transaction), checks made payable to Butler PTO, or eWallet.


Sign up now for eWallet!! REMEMBER - eWallet is now like a giftcard and all funds stay on the eWallet until they are used. Each student needs their own eWallet account.


We have a few critical volunteer needs. Sign up here for these slots.


If you would prefer to shop at home with your child, or the book your child wants is out of stock, you can shop at our online book fair, running now through May 24 here.


If you have additional questions, please contact Shirley or Amy.

YOU MUST HAVE CLEARANCES TO VOLUNTEER
In order to volunteer in the classroom, you must have current volunteer clearances through CBSD. Questions? Contact Erin McCreary.

The process is EASY and all done online using the Volunteer Tracker App. Every CB volunteer will need to register, and upload their clearances.

Pennsylvania law requires all persons having direct contact with school children obtain background checks and clearances. Click here for the required clearances, along with links to the state’s websites.
