It's time for our ONLINE BOOK FAIR!
This year, our fair is COMPLETELY ONLINE! Families order and pay through our book fair website at any time during our fair. The fair will run from November 16 - November 29. In order to have free shipping for our families, the books will be delivered here to BMS. We will arrange a day for remote families to come and pick up their orders and we'll pass out the orders to the in-person students as soon as they arrive. Orders will be delivered before Winter Break. Thank you for supporting our Library! Send any questions to Dr. Passek at kpassek@mcps.org |

A special note about Google Images:
Your mcps account is set to automatically give you copyright free images if you are logged in on your Chromebook.
If you are using the Chrome browser from any other device,
you must first change the settings! Here's how:
In Google, search for your topic, click on "Images"
and then click on the "Search Tools" button. |
Click on "Usage Rights" from the new menu that opens and check "Labeled for noncommercial reuse."
You have permission to use any of the images that then appear. You still need to give credit to the source of the images. |
