Brayton Book Fair is Coming Soon!

Get ready, Brayton Bobcats! The Brayton Book Fair is just around the corner on March 25, 26, and 27! This beloved tradition inspires a love of reading while also raising important funds for our school.

📅 Shopping & Special Read-Aloud

Join us for family shopping on the evening of Wednesday, March 26 from 6:15-7:45pm. Plus, students in grades 1-3 can enjoy a special read-aloud at 6:30pm with a surprise guest! The librarian, Ms. Kaczynski, will send home the details about the Read Aloud (copies are also posted below).

🙌 Volunteer Opportunities

We need your help to make the book fair a success. Please review the details and options in our Sign Up Genius. Grab a friend and take a slot to help. We will need help everyday in some capacity from 3/24-3/27. It really does take a village!

💳 Cashless Shopping Option

Literati gift cards are available for purchase to provide a cash-free way for your child to shop at the fair. Purchase a gift card here.

We can't wait to see you there! 📖✨
