BOOK FAIR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

We’re excited to partner with Bookworm Central for this year’s Book Fair, happening December 8th to 12th! Students will have the chance to shop a wonderful selection of books, graphic novels, and gifts—perfect for holiday reading and giving. There will be an opportunity to browse the book fair in the evening, in conjunction with International Night on December 12th.

All proceeds from the Book Fair go directly to supporting our school library, helping us add new books and resources for our students.

We also need volunteers to help with setup and to assist students during the event. Your support makes a huge difference, and we’d love to have you join us! Please click here to volunteer.
