Each month we will feature a couple of blogs so that you can see what’s going on in other parts of the school. This week, we are featuring the Middle School Blog, which is written by the students!

Breakfast with Santa
Breakfast with Santa was a success! We would like to thank all the crafters and bakers who donated to the event, Meredith Gregory (a Brickton alumnus!) who took photos, Joe Somers (Brickton parent) for his special lighting, and Christina Calderon and Sydney Delin (Brickton alumni!) for helping Santa. A VERY SPECIAL thank you to Santa for stopping by and taking pictures with all our Brickton students. Some photos from the event are displayed on the bulletin board and the slide show below, but if you would like to download a picture from the event, go to http://tinyurl.com/breakfastwithsanta2011 (you will need to use the password: brickton).
Did you miss a book at the Scholastic Book Fair?
Didn't get enough books at the Scholastic Book Fair? Forgot to pick up that one favorite book for your student? Rushed to school only to realize the fair had already closed for the day? No worries! We have a great new solution
this year--The Scholastic Online Book Fair Extension Sale. Visit www.scholastic.com/schoolbookfairs/2913433 between December 9th, through December 20th, to purchase additional books and items from our book fair. Books will be delivered to the school after the Winter Break. A percentage of these sales, as well as the in-school book fair sales, fund Upper Elementary field trips and materials. And we love to encourage reading by bringing so many different kinds of books to your families! Don’t forget to check out the Classroom Wish Lists on the middle doors of the Great Room! Order these books online and donate them to your child’s classroom library.
