We'll be open for shopping before school Tuesday-Friday, and after school Tuesday-Thursday, plus during conferences. This fundraiser brings books and supplies to our school.
Shop from home or phone: Did you know you can shop via the Burnside webpage? http://www.scholastic.com/bf/awesomebes is available 24/7. Plus you can order from a HUGE selection of books for many different reading levels. All orders will be shipped to the school by the end of the month. You can share this site with your friends and loved ones who can do their Christmas shopping early for themselves and maybe for your child(ren). All orders made through this site count toward the fundraiser.
Early birds: You don't have to wait to order books for your family and gift giving needs! You can shop NOW at http://www.scholastic.com/bf/awesomebes and choose books. If your order is placed by Monday, your books will ship to school by Friday. You can find that book you are missing in a series, shop by character, or find a book for a high schooler.
