[aisle] Book Fair

[Nichole Folkman]

I'm doing an in-person Scholastic fair in a couple of weeks. We're getting
cases and award-winners. The students will not browse the fair. I'm taking
pictures of the crates with big price signs (tax included) and sending
those home and putting them on social media. When a kid pays, I'll pull
their order. Not ideal, but makes me more comfortable. Space is a huge
issue in our school.
