January Scholastic Book Orders

The January Scholastic book club order forms will go home in Friday folders. There are the two normal order forms (Firefly and SeeSaw), as well as a special “Voices” order form that features books celebrating African American literature, history, and life, which is issued for Black History Month in February.

All orders are due by Tuesday, January 20th.

There are two ways to order:
1. Send in cash or check made out to Scholastic with your paper order.
User Name = Krank   Password = books
