Every fall, the PTA holds a Scholastic Book Fair at Todd where students, families and the community can purchase books while supporting the PTA and Todd School. Committee members will help plan, advertise, set up, run, and break down the Book Fair. There is a separate signup for those interested in assisting each child’s class during the fair, available a few weeks prior.

Co-chairs: Julianne Reis, Nicola Georgek, Ewelina Gebicki, Caryn Nash, Francesca O’Donovan
