Barnes & Noble Book Fair - Friday, 12/2

The Scoop: From 4-8pm on Friday, December 2, the South High Band will host a book fair with Barnes & Noble at the Rt. 30/Plainfield Rd. store in Joliet.

Here's how it works: Present our voucher (available by clicking here) or ID number (10558757) OR wear a PSHS Sticker on your jacket (get a sticker from one of our students at the Gift Wrap Table when you arrive!) when making a purchase, and up to 20% will be donated to the Band Program. This includes the cafe as well.  This is a great way to do holiday shopping AND support the band!!! 

Online Purchases: You can also shop online anytime from 12/2 through 12/7 and earn the same profit for the Bands. Just input the Bookfair ID code (10558757) at checkout.  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, performing in small ensembles, and wrapping gifts. The cafe will also be selling a specialty hot chocolate that will be named by our band students.



Hope to see you there on Friday!
