Edgewater Elementary, Barnes & Noble Partner in Fundraiser

Members of the Edgewater Elementary community are encouraged to head out and enjoy a night of reading, music and stories at the Barnes & Noble in Annapolis on Thursday night.

Whether it’s a saxophone solo, trombone solo, choir singing or a special reading from principal Rebecca Schou, there is plenty to enjoy as part of the Edgewater Elementary PTA’s holiday shopping fundraiser.

From 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, Edgewater Elementary will get a percentage of every purchase at the local bookstore, as long as patrons have a special voucher they can present at the checkout counter (PDF is attached to this article). After shopping during the day, parents and kids are invited to enjoy a special evening at Barnes & Noble featuring musical performances and story time relaxation.

Additionally, Barnes & Noble is offering free gift wrapping for purchase related to Edgewater Elementary. Kids will also get a free homework pass for attending the event and showing their support, according to a PTA press release.
