Educators Appreciation Weekend at Borders! 25%off

[meandtheguys]

Just a "heads up" re. Educators Appreciation Weekend at Borders this weekend. You can receive 25% off most items if you are a teacher, school librarian, homeschooler, etc. Just bring proof with you. I know that I really enjoyed the saving on personal as well as "school" items when I went last year. It starts tonight and runs through Sunday. Last year Barnes & Noble and Joseph Beth had their teacher app. sale at the same time, but I couldn't find that information on the web-sites.

Have fun shopping!

Even though I am considered "educational support" I am eligible for the discount too. I am really excited to pick up a few travel books I've had my eye on. My flyer says there is also free coffee and tea all weekend, plus 40% off anything you buy from the cafe. Thanks for the reminder!

Just a up for all who have been hard at work teaching all day! Not the smartest thing to post this a.m.!

Thanks for the heads up, Michelle.

Barnes and Noble must be letting each store handle things separately. I received this e-mail today from the manager of our local store:

Local Educators,

To express our appreciation for all you do, Barnes & Noble is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, May 1st through May 9th, 2004.

Throughout the week, educators of grades pre-K through 12 and homeschoolers can enjoy a special 25% savings on all hardcover and paperback books for the classroom. If you teach at a school, bring your valid school ID, pay stub, or teacher certificate to present with your purchase. Homeschoolers may present their state certification, a Homeschoolers' Association membership
card or lesson plan as valid identification.

In addition, ask any of our booksellers for information on the many programs and resourses that Barnes & Noble offers educators every day.

If I may be of assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely,

(Community Relations Manager)

I have a teacher's certificate, but I'm not presently teaching (except to teach my children that playdough isn't food ). If I bring my certificate do you think I'll receive the discount?

I am certain you will receive the card. Last year they gave a card to my sister whose kids were 4 and 2. She explained that they are planning on homeschooling, which she is, but she had no paperwork to prove it. Does that make sense? I would think that if you have your certificate that you will be given a card and the discount. Good luck!
