Tamarac Secondary School Library is having a Scholastic Book Fair. There are two ways to shop!
In-person
The Book Fair will be in the middle school library from September 23-27th. It will be open during lunch and study hall for browsing.
The bookfair will also be open during "Meet the Teacher" night on September 26th. Come as a family to check out some books.
Students can bring cash, credit card or check (made out to Brunswick CSD).
Scholastic is now offering a new, cash-free payment option called eWallet, making it easier for kids to buy books! This is a secure, cash-free way to shop the fair. Simply create a free account, pre-authorize a spending limit, and have funds immediately available. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/fairs/how-ewallet-works.html?fairId=5628682

In pursuit of their mission to educate students about the trades, Northeast Construction Trades Workforce Coalition has conducted this activity at their Girls Construction Camp last month. It was a big success so they're offering it at the Showcase of Homes annual event.
Middle school girls and boys are invited. All materials and safety equipment will be provided. The students are required to wear close-toes shoes such as sneakers.
Mark your calendar for all the events happening on September 3rd!
Freshman Orientation: The program is open to all incoming 9th grade students. It is a great opportunity for students to meet new people and prepare for the start of high school. Please reach out to our Student Senate Advisor, Ms. Gelina (agelina@brunswickcsd.org) with any questions.
6th & 7th Grade Open House: This program is open to students and parents/guardians to meet teachers in both 6th and 7th grade. Please note, there is not another open house for these grades later in the fall, so we would love to see you fill our halls!
Sixth Grade Locker Night and Meet the Teachers: Parents/guardians and students are encouraged to come in from 3:00 - 5:00 PM. Students will be given a locker and can use this time to decorate and organize their space. All core area teachers will be present, so this is a great time to walk through your schedule and meet your teachers!
Elementary School Supply Drop Off: Our littlest Bengal's are welcome to come drop off their supplies and see their classrooms!
Chalk your spot: Seniors will be allowed to decorate their parking spot with chalk to start the beginning of the 24-25 school year. Rain date is September 4th.
