Spring Book Fair
March 13 - 17

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!).
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.

eWallet
In addition to cash or checks payable to Fox Hill PTO, Scholastic has added eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Create an account online anytime before or during the week of the fair for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy. Learn how!

Breakfast & Books
Monday, March 13th
7:15 – 7:55 am
Students may shop the Book Fair with their parents/guardians in the cafeteria.
(Please remain with your child until 7:55 am.)


Evening Parent Conferences
Wednesday, March 15th
6:00 – 8:00 pm
Open to shop during evening parent conferences.
(Parents/Guardians only)

Visit Fox PTO Spring Book Fair for all the details!

The countdown to more Bookjoy is on! Catch you at the Fair!

Burlington Public School Summer Enrichment Program
Imagine The Possibilities…
Our teachers are already preparing an exciting and researched-based curriculum for the summer of 2023. Inspiring young readers and thinkers through project-based learning is our primary focus. The summer program offers students an opportunity to maintain academic skills, interact with students from across the district, and expand their imagination through creativity. In addition to the grade level thematic projects, the “Robotics” curriculum designed by the Burlington Science Center will now be part of the curriculum for all students enrolled.

Grade K Imagine the possibilities and create your very own… Robot.
Grade 1 Imagine the possibilities and create your very own… Puppet Show.
Grade 2 Imagine the possibilities and create your own… Game.
Grade 3 Imagine the possibilities and create your own… Masterpiece.
Grade 4 Imagine the possibilities and create your very own… Travel Destination.

Where: Memorial Elementary School

When: Monday - Thursday
8:00 am - 1:00 pm

Session 1 only: July 10 - July 20 Fee: $300
Session 2 only: July 24 - Aug 3 Fee: $300
Session 1 & 2: July 10 - Aug 3 Fee: $525

Students are strongly encouraged to attend all four weeks to maximize academic consistency and social development. However, the opportunity to attend one session is available.
At the time of registration, a non-refundable deposit ($25) should be made payable to Burlington Public Schools and sent to the attention of Rosemary DeSousa at Central Office. Financial Assistance can be made available upon request for families experiencing hardship. A financial aid application will be included with registration.

Be on the lookout for a district-wide email from Central Office with a registration form on March 17. Consider making this summer one to remember and join our creative team as we imagine the possibilities!
