5 Reasons Why The Scholastic Book Fair Will Always Be The Best Part Of Elementary School

By Tanya
Being in school 5 days a week is kind of like having a full time job, only instead of getting paid in money, you have to sit there and learn. You get sent home with homework, you have to write book reports, you have tests and presentations and all of it is a lot of effort for a growing brain.
