Borders Gift Card Promotion

[Suzan Antin]

Parents, FYI - Borders is giving a $15 Donors Choose gift card to patrons who purchase anything on Saturday and Sunday at Borders.  I know that many of the 8th graders who are in Ms. Wright's class have to purchase a novel by next Friday, 12/10, so if you are shopping this weekend at Borders, be aware.

There are many GCS schools with grant proposals on the Donors Choose website currently, including a proposal at Jones, and you can apply your gift card to any proposal from any school in the US.

 

This is from the Donors Choose website:

We're excited to be part of Borders' Super Classroom Days on December 4^th and 5^th.

Through this partnership, any customer making a purchase at a Borders Bookstore will receive a $15 DonorsChoose.org gift card.  Gift cards will be availabe at all Borders stores and are limited to one per person while supplies last. 

Gift cards can be used to support classroom projects posted on DonorsChoose.org by public school teachers across the country. To redeem a gift card, search for projects at schools near you.
