Final details from Scholastic and MHS to share with families:

TEACHER DONATIONS: Most ELA teachers have set up Paper Wish Lists for their classrooms at the Book Fair. Families who want to contribute books to their teacher’s classrooms can purchase an item from their ELA teacher’s Wish Lists at the Book Fair!

You can also contribute funds to the ELA classroom libraries by contributing to this ewallet.

What is Sales Tax? Why do I have to pay it at the Book Fair?

Sales tax is an additional fee (charged by state and local governments) added to the cost of certain goods. In Texas, there is an 8.25% sales tax. To figure out how much the sales tax will be added to an time at the Book Fair:

1. multiply the sales tax to the cost of the item, and
2. then add that amount to the cost of item.

For example: If the cost of a book at the book fair was $17.99.

17.99 x .0825 = 1.48

$17.99 + $1.48 = $19.47 (total cost of the book with sales tax included)
