As an elementary school librarian for many years I was asked to consider having the Scholastic Book Fairs. I declined because the bindings were poor, the choice of titles was not high quality, and the glitzy stuff was not worth the kids’ money……. Just my opinion.

Amanda,
Create a dialogue with your Scholastic Rep. Tell the Rep to tailor your book fair and order what you believe your students would enjoy and appreciate. I held a few Scholastic Fairs over the years, but I would also work with independent bookstores. Scholastic Fairs generally come with "stuff". I specifically refused the "stuff" and only put out books. I also enhanced their displays and shaped the fair to my students.
Just be aware.
Best of luck.
