PTA will be running a 2-week Scholastic Virtual Book Fair ONLINE from March 15-28. This is a great opportunity to encourage your children to read while supporting your school at the same time. Your purchases must be made through Marguerita’s book fair home page instead of Scholastic Store Online in order for Marguerita to get the credit for the transaction.

Redeem Your Scholastic Vouchers
PTA will be funding your Scholastic eWallet with the amount of the unused vouchers you have. This is a one time offer in order to close out all the outstanding vouchers PTA has handed out in the past. (Note: You do not have to create an eWallet if you do not have Scholastic vouchers to redeem.)
Here are the steps to redeem Scholastic vouchers.
Step 1: Create an eWallet with your Scholastic account (Book Fair Link)
Step 2: Click “Invite others to fund” to email your eWallet info to bookfair@margueritapta.org
Step 3: PTA funds your eWallet
Step 4: Make purchases at the Scholastic Book Fair with the funds in your eWallet
Detailed instructions are here: eWallet Setup Instructions
The last day to set up your eWallet is March 27th, in order to allow time for PTA to fund your eWallet and for you to make purchases before the book fair ends. Any unused funds in your eWallet will be converted to gift card funds that can be used in Scholastic Store Online. Any unredeemed Scholastic vouchers will expire after March 27th, and PTA will no longer honor them at future book fairs.
FAQs:
What if I lost my Scholastic Dollars/Book Fair voucher?
You do not need to send us a copy of your voucher. PTA has a record. If you know you have unspent Scholastic Dollars, e-mail bookfair@margueritapta.org to fund your eWallet after you have set it up. PTA will review and fund the amount according to our records.
What if I don't know how much unspent Scholastic Dollars I have?
PTA has a record. If you know you have any unspent Scholastic Dollars, e-mail bookfair@margueritapta.org to fund your eWallet after you have set it up. PTA will review and fund the amount according to our records.
My Scholastic voucher has an expiration date that has passed.
No worries! We are allowing you to redeem any voucher that has not been spent, even if they are "expired." PTA has a record of all the Scholastic vouchers we have given out and when they were spent.
Do I have to send you my Scholastic Dollars/Book Fair voucher?
Nope! PTA has a record. After March 27th, you can throw it away!
What is an eWallet?
It is a Scholastic digital payment option offered with their book fairs. You and others can add funds to it, and then you can use the funds to purchase books at the Book Fair. It is a safe, convenient alternative to cash, and allows PTA to easily convert your Scholastic Dollars to eWallet funds without any contact or need for an in-person meeting. You can ask others to contribute funds to your eWallet too.
Why do we have to set up an eWallet?
Because we are not having an in-person book fair and have not had one since Fall 2019, PTA would like to give you an opportunity to use your Scholastic vouchers now. Scholastic eWallet is the most efficient way for us to allow you to use your Scholastic Dollars at the Online Book Fair.
What if I forget to set up my eWallet and email PTA to fund it?
We are sorry but this is your ONLY chance to redeem your Scholastic Dollars. After March 27th, your Scholastic vouchers will EXPIRE and PTA will no longer honor them. We did not want to delay the opportunity for students and parents to purchase books any more. Many of these vouchers were earned in Fall 2019. We don't know when we will have an in-person book fair again. Also, the PTA Board changes every year, and the next Board has the discretion to manage their own budget.
What if I don't want to buy any books?
If you have unused Scholastic Dollars, redeem them anyway! The funded amount in your eWallet will be converted to your regular Scholastic account as unused gift card funds. You can purchase books at the Scholastic Store Online or at a later book fair.
