Every fall I collaborate with Wellesley Books, the local independent bookstore in town to do a fall "Booktalks and Breakfast" event. For this event, I create the flyer, the PTO organizes food donations, and the a Wellesley Books children's bookseller comes and speaks about new middle school titles of interest. This event is very successful. The parents enjoy it and look forward to it each year and we have upwards of 30 attendees.

We do a similar event at the end of the school year highlighting the summer reading list. This allows parents to get an idea of what books may be good for their students to read over the summer and to purchase those books from the PTO book far.
