parochial and charter schools in the Boston area.

Book Fairs Everywhere!

It's Book Fair time for most of the schools!

The Warren Prescott, 50 School St, Charlestown has theirs which started last Friday, through this coming Friday, September 30th at 2pm.  There is a wide array of Scholastic Books and knick knacks to your child's delight.

The Learning Project has theirs Saturday, October 1st from 11-3pm, at 107 Marlborough St., with activities for children and families, throughout the building.  They will have a bake sale table and a gourmet grilled cheese bar, courtesy of Bacco’s Wine and Cheese in the Back Bay.  In addition to the day’s activities, we have a wonderful selection of used and new books for children and adults and a raffle featuring tickets to the Bruins.  The selection (and bargains!) can’t be beat.  

 I am sure the other schools are having them too, so send in the info, and we'll spread it around!
