Burley's beloved Book Bash event is an annual celebration of the written word, where authors and Burley students across every grade level come together as peers, asking questions, engaging in discovery, and sharing inspiration about their experiences in writing.  
 
One of the highlights of Book Bash is taking home a book signed by the authors. Book pre-ordering ends THIS Wednesday, October 2. Only a limited quantity of books will be available for sale on the day of the event. Books purchased by the deadline will be signed by the authors before or after their presentations, and delivered to the students' classrooms at the end of Book Bash day. 

There are two options for placing a book order:

• Paper order forms: Complete and return the form, along with payment (cash or check made out to Burley PTA) in an envelope marked "Book Bash" with your child's name and room number. Forms went home in student backpacks and extra forms can be found in the main office.

• Order online: burleypta.org/book-bash. The PTA has moved to a new online store where you will need to create an account to pre-order books.

To ensure your child receives a signed book, pre-order your book!  
A percentage of all book sales are donated back to Burley School by Roscoe Books.
 

At Holiday Hoopla, our school community celebrates the season -- and the talents of our young musicians! Students will perform music they've learned through their music classes. Individuals and small groups have also auditioned to perform for you. It's a festive annual tradition not to be missed.

Grades 6-8 will walk to the lakefront for a day of fitness and fun! Students in 5th grade and younger will participate in walking and fitness activities here at school. Set up your child's online fundraising page, print a pledge form, and learn more at friendsofburley.org/walkathon.

The Walkathon and Fitness Challenge is one of FOB's largest events, and its success is critical to achieving our year-end goals. It's also Burley students' chance to give back to our wonderful school. If every Burley student raises $100, we'll be well on our way to reaching our goal for this event.
