BRACKETT ELEMENTARY PTO
Brackett Book Fair: December 1-5
The Brackett Book Fair is almost here!
Monday, December 1 – Friday, December 5
A wonderful opportunity to build your child’s home library with books they’ll love to read again and again, while supporting our school library at the same time.
Every purchase at the Book Fair – brought to us by a Brackett alum parent and owner of Arlington’s Book Rack – helps fund new books and book repairs for the Brackett Library, which saw over 22,000 checkouts last year!
Our students are reading—and they need your support to keep our shelves full of exciting, high-quality books.
If you have any questions about the Book Fair, please email bookfair@brackettpto.org.
