Books, Books, Books!

Happy almost September, CMS folks!

In today's Friday folders, you'll see a form for Scholastic Book Orders. These forms will come home with your child throughout the year, so feel free to bookmark this blog post for future orders, as well.

- If you fill out a paper form, please send a check along with it made payable to Clemson Montessori School.
- Place order forms and checks in an envelope. No staples!
- Pre school students should return the orders to the office.
- Elementary students should return orders to their teacher.
- If you would like your books to be held for pickup (instead of sending them home with your child), please specify this on your order form.

If you prefer to order online, this year we have a way for you to do that, and still benefit the school!

Register at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs and use the following, one-time class activation code: GT8TZ

Submit your order online and complete the secure checkout with a debit or credit card. Books will be delivered to your child.

We have another book fair that benefits the school coming up in September, as well. Save the date for our Usborne Book Fair. We will have a display in our front office the week of Sept. 10, and your purchases that week will help the PTO will earn free books for CMS and money for our PTO account. For more information about Usborne Books, feel free to visit our consultant's Web site: www.booksaremoore.com

Happy reading!
