Barnes & Noble Bookfair

The Amalgamated Nursery School will be holding it's Annual Barnes and Noble Book Fair during the weekend of November 20 - 22. We hope you can help support the Nursery by simply doing some regular book buying or holiday shopping at a Barnes and Noble store near you. This is how it works:

Simply present the attached voucher at ANY Barnes and Noble Bookstore when you make a purchase during the weekend of November 20-22 and the Nursery will receive 15%of your purchase - at absolutely no cost to you.

During the weekend of November 20-22, there are some nice happenings planned at the 2614 Central Ave. Yonkers, NY Barnes and Noble store, sponsored both by the Nursery and Barnes and Noble Bookstore. Please see the attached flyer for details.
Please note that you can support our Nursey by shopping at ANY Barnes and Noble store - so please email the voucher to friends and family throughout the country to help with our fundraising effort.

Vouchers are good for books, music, magizines, gift items, basically anything purchased at the store and even a treat in the cafe . Online order do not count, but if you wish to order something that is not available at the store, you can do so at a store and pay during the weekend of the bookfair and your purchase will be included in our fundraising efforts.

Our aim this year is to help raise the funds to replace a well used, loved but worn piece of equipment in our "Tire Park".
Thanks for your continued support of our school!

With Many Thanks!!
