It's Time to Give Your Books a New Home!

It’s a tradition to send our 5^th grade students on a special class trip at the end of their Folwell years. This year, they will be going to Eagle Bluff Learning Center for an overnight adventure.

In order to raise money, offset the cost of the trip, and make it possible for all 5^th graders to participate, two traditional fundraisers will take place the first week of March:  the Used Book Sale and a Basketball Game featuring fifth-grade students vs. teachers. We hope you will join us for these events that are fun for the entire Folwell community!

The 5^th graders are collecting donations of gently-used books for all ages, as well as family DVDs (G or PG), and children’s story and music CDs, to prepare for the sale. Check your shelves and clear the clutter!

Books/DVDs can be dropped off by the Office foyer from February 4^th  – 25^th in boxes waiting for your contribution.

The donated books/CDs/DVDs will be sold at the annual Folwell Used Book Sale during week of March 2nd-6^th. Folwell students and their families will have opportunities to purchase the used books before and after school (8:45am – 9:15am and 3:3

0pm – 4:00pm) and during lunch (12:00pm – 1:00pm) Monday 2^nd – Thursday 5th. Books will also be on sale during the Wellness Night February 27^th, at the 5^th grade fundraising basketball game on Thursday March 5^th , and for clearance prices prior to school Friday March 6^th. We will sell most items for $1, with specialty items marked slightly higher.

We hope to raise more than $800 through the used book sale and are grateful for your donations!
