Bookclub thank you

Thank you so much to Julia, Jessie and Margaret for all your hard work today!
We have placed all the orders and await the delivery :-)

Bookclub is a big job, money to count and balance, orders to check and process, checking and checking again to make sure nothing is left out -  but has its advantages:
  • students get the opportunity to buy a book and perhaps find a new favourite
  • the school gets some extra resources for free- approximately 20% of the value of the sales returns to us in the form of free picks and bonus coupons -  which we use to buy more books!
Some of the new books we bought today out of our free picks and bonuses include:
  • the 39 Clues set [books 1 - 11] normally valued at over $170
  • a Pearlie the park Fairy set of 7 books, normally valued at over $90  [the link is the opening title for the TV show - we bought the books NOT videos!]
  • The Wonky Donkey and Willbee the Bumble Bee picture books with CD valued at over $34 [check out the links for a preview]
There are many more too - so watch out for the new books on the shelves soon......

Because bookclub is such a big job, especially counting and balancing the money, I think we can wait until next term before we do it all again!

Thanks again,
Mrs B :-)
