The Book Fair at Bloomingdale Elementary is just days away! The Fair encourages students to read AND it raises much-needed funds for our school. The easiest way for kids to pay is with an eWallet. Create one for your child so they can shop cash free and independently! Visit our school homepage to get started: https://scholastic.com/bf/bloomingdaleelementaryschool1
