Winter Market Thank You

Thank you to all who attended our Winter Market and Book Fair Family Night last Friday! 

The event would not have been the same with out these amazing volunteers:

  • Rachael Roehrig, whose artistic talents transformed our school into a winter wonderland
  • Brooke Robinson contributed a sense of joy and whimsy with the winter inflatables she collected from the community, bringing smiles to children and adults alike.
  • Silverbrook custodian Mr. Lopez and his son graciously shared their incredible musical gifts at the piano
  • The student vendors did an amazing job using their talents to create impressive products that attendees were excited to purchase
  • Each of our volunteers who showed up to set up, clean up, direct foot traffic or help at a craft table 

Finally, we wish to thank every member of our community who joined us for this memorable evening. Your presence and participation brought warmth and vitality to the event, making it not only a marketplace and book fair, but a true gathering of neighbors and friends.

Book Fair Thank You

 

It’s the final day of Book Fair—and what a fantastic week it’s been!

Thank you to every volunteer who stopped by to help our students make their book fair dreams come true. You searched high and low for just-right books and irresistible trinkets. You helped build wish lists, explained that $5.99 does in fact mean $6, and solved the mystery of the disappearing pennies. You brought patience, enthusiasm, and a whole lot of joy. We’re so grateful.

A huge shout-out to our Book Fair leads, Samantha Roberts and Kalee Long.

For the past four years, Samantha has poured heart and hustle into making this event a success—coordinating with Scholastic, restocking shelves, tracking the tiny details, and keeping everything running smoothly. This year, she also trained Kalee, expanding the team with her signature kindness and organization. We are so fortunate to have her leadership and her dedication.

And now—we’d love to grow this mighty duo!

If you’re passionate about reading, excited to get books into kids’ hands, or just love the magic of Book Fair, we’d be thrilled to have you join the team. Let us know if you’re interested by emailing fundraising@silverbrookpto.org.

Thank you for an incredible week!
