Barnes & Noble Book Fair: Friday, May 14

The Scoop: Barnes & Noble has graciously allowed us to have another book fair on Friday, May 14, at the Rt. 30/Plainfield Rd. store in Joliet.

Here's how it works: Present our voucher (a sheet of 6 is available by clicking here) when making a purchase, and up to 20% will be donated to the Band Program. This includes the cafe, as well. On that date, you can also present our ID number (10204295) at any Barnes & Noble location OR online and earn the same profit for the Band. This allows family members from out of state to help us, too!

What happens at B&N: Our students will be involved in the evening by reading books and performing in small ensembles. The cafe will also be selling a specialty drink (Caramel Hot Chocolate) that will be named by our band students.

We will need some help: Click to view the STUDENT and PARENT sign-up sheets. Please consider helping if you are available. To reserve a time slot, please e-mail our coordinator, Mrs. Hayes, at cl.hayes@comcast.net.

An alternate transportation form is needed to take your student home from the festival. That also must be turned in no later than Friday morning.
