Barnes and Noble Bookfair, 2010

For the third year in a row, the Nursery had its annual fundraiser at Barnes and Noble. The fair was held at the bookstore on Central Avenue in Yonkers on Sunday, November 21st. It was an afternoon of fun for children and parents alike. The children listened to stories read by Amalgamated staff members and students’ family members. They also made some crafts and ate some healthy snacks.

The goal of this fundraiser was to raise money through the purchase of books, games, and snacks at the Yonkers store. If you mentioned the Amalgamated Nursery School’s name at the cash register, a portion of the sale profits from your purchase were donated to the nursery school. This is the first year that purchases made on line could also be credited to the school’s fundraising profit!

We would like to give a special thanks to those who attended and helped to make our fundraiser a success both by reading, making purchases to help raise money for the school, and by showing our children that reading is fun.
