Book Drive—BHS Senior Project
BHS Senior, Will Zimmerman, will be running a book drive to benefit CLiF at MEM throughout the month of April for his Senior Project. This drive is to collect new books for the Children’s Literacy Foundation to be distributed to low-income, at-risk, and rural children up to age 12 throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. There will be a collection bin (for books or monetary donations) in the hallway outside of the office. The upcoming Scholastic Book Fair will be a perfect opportunity to both purchase and donate books! Together, we can help ensure a brighter future for the youth of NH and VT! Thank you for your support!

Book Fair (volunteers needed)
We are in need of volunteers for our annual PTG Spring Book Fair. The dates are Monday, April 8th through Thursday, April 11th. Our goal is to be open Monday and Thursday from 8am to 6pm and Tuesday and Wednesday from 8am to 3pm but volunteers are needed in order to make this happen. In conjunction with the Book Fair, we will be holding a coin drive in which the proceeds generated will go to the School's Classrooms and Library. A flyer regarding the coin drive will be coming home with your student(s)!
