October 13- Pumpkin Sale
A great fall event! Volunteers are needed to cover hourly shifts for the sale; pumpkins, hay bales, caramel apples and hot cider are among our offerings.
October 19 - Walk-A-Thon
Several years running (or walking!) A huge success in previous years, both as an activity and as a fundraiser to encourage physical fitness and get the students involved. Students take pride in knowing they are actively helping their school. Pledge forms will be sent home the week before. This is an after school, optional event, we hope many will be able to participate. Hosted by 5th grade - volunteers are needed to track laps completed, cheer, & provide snacks.

June 12 - Bishop Teachers and Staff Tea
At this end-of-year cherished Bishop tradition the Library tables are set with table cloths, china, silverware, flowers, delicious desserts and tea. Parents loan china pieces and organize the Tea—but do not attend it—in gratitude for all the staff has done for our kids during the year.
May 18/19 - Bear Fair
This annual fundraiser is what keeps programs of all kinds running at Bishop School. The Bear Fair is a well-known tradition and draws people from all over town (and beyond). The committee works primarily during the late winter and spring to organize all aspects of the Fair. We need many hands on the day of the fair.
