It was good seeing many of you at the Barnes and Noble in-store bookfair last Saturday. If you couldn’t make it or if you are shopping for gifts to ship to friends and relatives this season, Barnes and Noble will continue contributing to the King PTA for every purchase online until midnight Wednesday, December 1st. Go to http://www.bn.com/bookfair and enter the bookfair ID # of 10252807 at checkout.

The purpose and goal of this fundraiser is to raise a significant amount of money, at least over $1200 in book purchases, which would benefit teachers at King to buy material that will support upcoming classroom projects and give the PTA the ability to support King School in other needed areas as well.

Do you want an extra 4.8% of your Barnes and Noble online purchases to go to King? Install AutoEarn on your computer and eScrip will give us our cut. AutoEarn makes sure King School PTA gets a cut of the profits of all purchases at participating online retailers. Go to http://shopping.escrip.com/client/pid=5400/bid=146039442 to read more or to sign up. Our eScrip group ID# is: 8563768, the name is: King School PTA

Here’s the fine print:
