Don't want to send money with students for the book fair. Now you can set up an account to allow them to shop and only what they spend is charged. EWALLET by Scholastic is the coolest thing ever!

I will say. You have to do what is best for your student population. Don't just read a book from people that aren't in schools telling you what should be done. You know your kids best and can put them in an environment to succeed #edtechchat
