Barnes & Noble Book Fair

Slide into Barnes and Noble between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 4th for a cozy evening filled with books, children laughing and the aroma of fresh brewed coffee. Please come and listen to Mrs. Paasch, Mrs. Euteneuer, and Pleasantview Elementary teachers share their excitement about books by Laura Numeroff’s series of stories to children.

You might not recognize Laura Numeroff’s name but I’m sure you’ve heard of her books such as, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Every thirty minutes, beginning at 4:30, a teacher will read one of the books from her series AND do an activity that corresponds to the story. A schedule of times and books will be posted on Mrs. Euteneuer’s website (http://www.isd47.org/~eutendea) under Book Fairs. Make sure you take some time to look at the great artwork produced by our own students that will be on display that evening. In addition, we will have a place for you to enter your Pleasantview students name for a drawing (prizes include an I Spy Spooky Mansion interactive game and delicious chocolate chunk cookies courtesy of Barnes & Noble).

Pleasantview will be earning money for new books as part of this event. Simply present a voucher at the cash register for any purchases and a percentage of the sale will be donated to our school. Vouchers will be sent home prior to the event and we will also be distributing them at Barnes & Noble that evening. You can also go the the district website www.isd47.org and print a voucher. You will find it located under Pleasantview What's happening. Vouchers will be accepted all day on December 4th or you can use the code to shop at Barnes & Noble online until December 9th so please feel free to give copies (of the voucher) to family and friends.

See you on December 4th!
