Simple Qpon Books
SimpleQpon books went home with the student this week. Our sale is from 8/22-9/7. Books are $20 each. Our school gets $10 profit from each book sold!!
Since our school is responsible for books; if you choose not to participate, please return the book in the envelope in the same condition it was sent home with your child. If the book is not returned, then we will assume that you have decided to purchase it and the $20 payment will be sent in the envelope for the fundraiser.
Prizes & Incentives for participants:
- Sell 5 books, get a free book (6th). Also, the student will get to attend a pizza party.
- Each student that sells 7 Books (not including the free book), automatically gets invited to the Game Truck video game party. He/She will also get to Silly String Mrs. Seibert at Beach Bash.
- Sell 10 books and get an envelope containing $5-$25 in cash.
- Top Seller for each grade will get $50 cash.
You can also place an order online. Please email sure to put click the drop down menu for organization and select Taft Middle School. Once you are viewing your cart, type your student's name in the box before checkout.
