<div dir="ltr">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.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 1, 2021 at 6:58 AM Kelley Roganowicz via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I just finished an in-person Follett fair. It was very different from the one I had last year at this time, but we were still able to bring in $1000 (compared to almost $5000 last year). </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(51,51,153)">
Our school is currently not allowing any parents into the building (even to the office), so all purchases were made by/through the students. Some brought money and the flyer that had gone home with their selections circled, others just had money to browse.
I usually do a preview day where all 800 students get a chance to look around. That was not able to happen this spring either, so students really didn't know what we had, until they came to shop. </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(51,51,153)">
My biggest issue was that I usually remind them about tax when they come for the preview day, and I didn't have that opportunity, so there were some instances where they had to keep their money for an extra day so they could go home and get a little more to
pay for the tax.</div>
