Calling All Gently Used Books
The Percy Priest Used Book Sale will be held January 30-February 3. In order for this sale to be a success and for Percy Priest Tigers to get a chance to purchase wonderful books to read for the upcoming Read-a-thon, we need your help! Please send in gently used children’s books and chapter books during the month of January. There will be bins to collect the books right outside the office in the front entry way. We want all of our Tigers to grow in their love of reading, and this will be a great way to stir up their interest and excitement about the Read-a-thon while helping our PTO. It might also be nice to clean out your bookshelves to start the New Year! Thanks in advance for your donation of books for the sale. Questions? Contact Ginger Sheppard.
