SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR

Our Scholastic Book Fair is happening this Friday September 27 through Thursday October 3 in the Brighton Gym!

The fair is open to all students and families from 8AM - 4:30PM each school day.

The book fair is an annual event that helps get more books into the classroom while helping foster a love of reading in our children.

Save time and set up an eWallet for your child HERE. This will allow your child to shop during school hours as each class visits the book fair. Other accepted forms of payment include: cash, credit card, and check (payable to Brighton School).

We are still looking for parent volunteers, especially for set up and clean up. Please consider signing up HERE. We truly appreciate any time you can spare.

Some teachers also set up eWallets where you can donate so please check with your individual teacher on how to contribute.
