SHOP FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Love to shop? Want to help NYC public schools? Then save the date for Shop for Public Schools 2008! From October 1 – 8, go shopping at participating retailers, and a portion of your purchase will go toward The Fund for Public Schools to support critical library enhancement and literacy initiatives. There’s never been a better reason to update that fall wardrobe, treat yourself to a massage, or enjoy a scrumptious cupcake!

Participating retailers will donate funds to improve New York City’s public school libraries, providing books, technology, furniture, and other essential supplies to libraries serving hundreds of thousands of students across the city.

For more information or to get involved, please email us at elarson@schools.nyc.gov.
