Does your school have a classroom set of The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier that you won’t be using around January 15th? As a cost savings measure, Paynesville School District is hoping to borrow the classroom set, or purchase it (at a reduced cost) from another school in the region.
Details:
Need a classroom set of 30, plus teacher’s activity guides (if available).
Needed for third quarter (around January 15th).
They are willing to arrange shipping or will pick them up & return them to your school.
If loaning (rather than selling) the set to the Paynesville District, they will pay for any lost or damaged books.
Please contact Joan Nevitt (Media Specialist) directly at joan.nevitt@gmail.com, if you are able to assist them.
