Colorado Rapids Spirit Wear Day is Friday, October 2.

Students may wear a Rapids jersey or their favorite MLS Team Jersey, TOP ONLY. Students who do not wish to wear an MLS or any soccer-related top can still wear Spirit Wear tops or regular uniforms. On these days, students can wear T-shirts, sweatshirts, and other tops in that theme. Uniform bottoms are required on these days.

Please refer to our Uniform Policy & Standards for more information.

If your student has a Field Trip on a Themed Spirit Day, they must wear their Formal Uniform/Field Trip attire.

Don't let roadblocks 🚧 get in the way of setting up your student's eWallet💲for the book fair!

Steps to Set Up an eWallet
🌐 Go to Scholastic Book Fairs and search for your school's upcoming Book Fair.

🏫 Open your school's Book Fair homepage.

🚀 Look for the "Before the Fair" section and click Get Started or Create eWallet.

🔐 Sign in with your existing Scholastic account or register for a new account using your name and email.

👧 Select Student as the recipient, then enter your child's first name, last name, grade, and teacher's name.

💳 Add funds using a credit card, apply any leftover balance from a past fair, or share the eWallet link with family members so they can contribute.

The Book Fair is NO CASH. We accept e-Wallet, which is an easy way for students to buy books at the Book Fair next week.

Please set up your student(s) e-Wallets so that they may shop during the day. You can also transfer unused e-Wallet funds from a previous Book Fair. Please remember to spell the teacher's name correctly when setting up an e-Wallet. This will help us locate your students' funds faster at the register. You can find all the teachers on the BFA app>Menu>Staff Directory and/or website.
