The Emma C. Chase Elementary School is excited to announce the grand re-opening of the New to You Bookstore on Monday, September 22.
This student-run bookstore provides children with an opportunity to explore and enjoy reading in an affordable way. Students can purchase gently used books for just 25 cents each, or they may choose to trade in one book for another.
The bookstore will be open three days a week, with specific shopping days for each grade level:
-
Mondays: Kindergarten and 1st grade
-
Wednesdays: 2nd and 3rd grade
-
Fridays: 4th and 5th grade
Parent Volunteers Welcome
Parents are encouraged to get involved by volunteering at the bookstore in the mornings from 9:15–10:00 a.m. If you’d like to lend a hand, please reach out to Mrs. Andersen at pandersen@k12mcsd.net.
Donations Accepted
The bookstore gladly accepts donations of gently used children’s books in reasonable amounts. To ensure clarity, please include a note with your donation indicating that the books are intended for the bookstore.
The New to You Bookstore is a wonderful way to encourage reading, build excitement for books, and give students the chance to select stories that spark their imagination—all while keeping costs low and building community connections.
