At the Elementary level, the Holliston Parent Teacher Organization supports both the Placentino and Miller elementary schools. Our all-volunteer organization brings a wide variety of specialty programs and family activity events to the elementary school community.
For this fall, we are running a Book Fair with Aesop’s Fable, Holliston's own independent bookshop. From October (XXX), Aesop's Fable will donate a portion of all sales to the Holliston PTO.
We have recommendations for kids below. For our new friends who have yet to visit the shop, we have over 10,000 titles on the shelves for readers of all ages. Now is also a great time to start holiday shopping!
In addition, your teachers have individual book wish lists below. It's a great time to help them build their classroom libraries and please don't forget our specialists who do so much for every student!
HOW TO SHOP
You can shop online or in the bookshop. For all online purchases, select SHIPPING (HOLLISTON BOOK FAIR) when checking out. You will need to enter email and billing address but there will be no charge. WE WILL CONTACT you when your order is ready for pickup. All Teacher Wishlist purchases will be sent directly to the school.
For in person shopping, Aesop's Fable will be open from 10-6pm daily.
PRIZES
The class with the highest participation (percentage of students) will win a $50 book bundle for their classroom library.
