Dear Brimfield Grade School families!
WOW! In the past 24 hours, an overwhelming number of families have answered our call, sending hundreds of invitations to friends and family. We’re so excited to see that expanding home libraries and supporting our teachers is as important to you as it is to us.

Dear Brimfield Grade School Families,
Exciting news! We are partnering with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students’ home libraries. For over 30 years, Books Are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy.
Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative. Click Here: https://app.booksarefun.com/BrimfieldGS61517
Here are the steps:
Click the link above.
Register your student(s).
Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students (Don’t worry, all the information you provide is secure and never shared with anyone).
Need help registering? Watch this short step by step video: https://www.bb.booksarefun.com/how-to-complete
Why I love this program:
It’s guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student!
100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies.
The book list is fantastic - see the Treasure Map coming home today!
It will take you less than 10 minutes and there is NO financial requirement from you.
More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That’s the goal. We’re hoping for 100% participation.
Thank you for helping our students have more books.

Coming Soon!
BGS PTO Carnival on February 22 from 4 pm to 7 pm.
