Volunteers are needed to assist students with their purchases November 18-22, and to pack up what’s left to return to Scholastic the afternoon of November 22. We need some help from everyone!

In the words of Principal Snider: “Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them to become Bolder, Prouder, and Stronger Readers. AND—as always—every book they buy earns rewards for our school.

Here’s what you need to know about the Cabin John Middle School Book Fair, which will take place from Monday,November 18 – Friday, November 22, in the Library Media Center.  

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.

Research shows that students who read independently improve their reading skills, score higher on achievement tests in all subject areas, and have greater content knowledge than those who do not. The countdown to more Bookjoy is on! See you at the Fair!”

Thank you for supporting the CJMS PTSA with your valuable time!!
