Your School + Classroom Wish List = A Winning Formula Why a Classroom Wish List program? It helps build classroom libraries and promotes interest in reading, with the added benefit of boosting your Book Fair sales. Plus, it's easy:

1. Set up a display with the materials we provide.
2. Invite teachers to a special preview to select the books.
3. Encourage customers to purchase and donate books.

Everyone wants to support your school! Show them how by promoting the Classroom Wish List program to family, friends, and teachers. When you promote the Classroom Wish List program you will receive Customer Rewards in the form of IRC vouchers that you can redeem in our exclusive Instructional Resource Catalog.
