Fall Book Fair
November 15-23
Every purchase made during the book fair benefits the Salmon Bay library! You are invited to shop online or in person at Secret Garden Books (be sure to tell them you are supporting Salmon Bay). To help with book selection, we are sharing this PDF of book recommendations.

In addition, Secret Garden staff will have extra staff available during our school’s in-store shopping day on Saturday, November 20 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Stop by to ask questions and get recommendations!

When shopping online, here are a few things to remember:

  • If you don’t have an account, you may be asked to create one. 
  • Enter “SALMONBAY” into the coupon box at checkout. This ensures your purchase supports Salmon Bay.
  • Orders will be delivered to Salmon Bay School. Please choose the “store pick up” option when ordering online to avoid being charged for shipping.  Once orders arrive at Salmon Bay, we’ll distribute them to families during student drop off or pick up.  Additional details will be emailed to families once orders arrive.

Please feel free to tell friends and family members about our book fair!

FOSB needs your help!

~ FOSB Communications

FOSB is looking for some volunteers to help in specific roles for the next school year:

FOSB Website: We have parents who help maintain the content on our WordPress-based website. We’re looking for someone who can help with the “back end” aspects — being familiar with our hosting company and helping with any technical challenges. This job is just a few hours per year.

After-School Programs Committee: Offers a variety of before- and after-school programs for students during the school year. We really need some parents to help bring back this committee as we plan for a return to in-person school in the fall. Our after-school programs are a valuable resource for our school and very popular with students and families.

Direct Giving Committee: Organizes, plans, and executes FOSB’s annual fall direct giving campaign, which is one of our biggest fundraisers.

We’re also actively recruiting for our Gardening Committee, Legislative Committee, and Rock for FOSB Committee.

You can find more information and contacts for our committees here. Let us know if you want to join in and help out (fosbchair@gmail.com). Have a great summer!
