Madera Elementary School Bookfair and Benefit

Get a jump start on your holiday shopping!  Come and shop at Barnes & Noble on Saturday, Nov. 26 and mention “Madera Elementary School ” at check-out. A percentage of your purchases will kick back to Madera!  Consider gifts of books, movies, music and games. Grab a beverage or goodie at the café (yes, these purchases count as well!) and enjoy the activities in the Children’s section.

If you can’t make it to the store, please phone in your order to 510-524-0087 or online at bn.com/bookfairs and enter ID # 10573665 at checkout. Orders of $25 or more are eligible for free shipping to your home address.  Out-of-stock items will need to be shipped to your home for school credit.

This year, there will be the brand new "Toys and Games" section, with all items included in the Bookfair!

Consider purchasing books from your teachers’ wish lists or for the Madera library.   Wish list books will be located in the middle of the Children’s section on a metal pegboard.
