Scholastic Book Fair

February 1-8 – Both Campuses

Scholastic Book Fair is Almost Here!

Students and their families are invited to Morris Brandon’s Scholastic Book Fair on February 1-8 at both campuses. The Book Fair is so much fun for our kids, and it’s a great way for parents to get involved!

Please click here to volunteer at the Primary Center, and click here to volunteer at the Main Campus.

Bee Bucks for the Book Fair are available again for purchase online! Bee Bucks offer a worry-free way for your child to purchase items at the Book Fair. They are used like a gift card and are pre-purchased by parents (by Wednesday, January 30) for students, as a gift for a teacher, or as a student donation. Click here to order online or complete the downloadable form for either the Primary Center or the Main Campus. Please note that the paper order forms are specific to each campus.

International Travelers Volunteers

International Travelers is a program that takes our students on a virtual trip to another country and is a great IB learning opportunity. Morris Brandon students have “visited” Mexico and Japan in previous years and are gearing up for a virtual visit to South Africa this year! International Travelers Week has historically been in May, but due to a recent change in Milestone testing dates, the program will take place from December 11-20 this year.

Sign up here to help make this year’s “trip” to South Africa a success!

Given the condensed timeframe, we need as many volunteers as possible over the next couple of weeks to help put together materials for each class. Thank you for helping to make this program a success!
