Anderson Middle School Parents are invited to volunteer at the Middle School Open House, 5:45-7:15pm on Wed, Dec. 3. Middle school students (6th-8th) who attend with their parent/guardian can get community service credit. No younger siblings please. Sign up here. 

We need at least 20 parents (with or without their middle schoolers) to be present in the ground-floor classrooms and casually answer questions about their child's experience with academics, homework and school culture. Thanks for your support!

Support literacy by talking to your children about books that interest them and volunteering at the book fair! Sign up for volunteer shifts, from 12/5 Fri 2:30pm setup through 12/12 Fri 3pm cleanup. 

• Please review budgets and sales tax with kids at home! Students received book fair catalogs that show pricing examples in their backpacks before Thanksgiving. 

• Any books purchased online through the catalog will arrive at school the week after the book fair. The book fair may not have all the books listed in the catalog. Additional books not listed will be for sale.

• Every student is welcome at the book fair. Parents, contact Ms. Chandonnet for financial assistance: Nchandonnet@schools.nyc.gov. Other questions: bookfair@andersonpta.org
