4. Scholastic Book Fair We need to get somebody to take the lead on the book fair. Mrs. Kearns reached out to ask if Student Council could help with things upcoming, specifically Trunk or Treat. Jerry suggests that maybe S.C. could help with this event if we can get an adult to coordinate.

Tonia R. wrote out her operating procedures and we know what needs to happen.

The bookfair is scheduled for early December. But do we have space to host it? Maybe the town office can hold the bookfair? Jody will reach out to M. Begin about hosting at the town office.

Jody and Hollie will run the bookfair if we can find a space to host it.
