TEACHERS - Do You Need National Geographic magazines or 3-Ring Binders?

The PTA Thrift Shop receives more of these items than we can sell. We can offer Geos that are 1999 or earlier FREE to any educator (pre-school through college!) or non-profit organization.

We can also offer culled binders to any educator or non-profit. Culled binders are functional binders in good shape that have some cosmetic issue that makes them a poor seller -- a company name printed on them, a subject or student's name written in magic marker, ink residue from a paper insert, stickers, etc.

Teachers, day-care workers, school social workers -- if you can use these geos or binders, call us! Parents -- if you are interested, please have a teacher or the school social worker from your school contact us (we cannot distribute these items directly to parents).

Help the PTA Thrift Shop get these geos and binders to children and organizations that need them -- Call the PTA Thrift Shop in Carrboro at 919-967-1272 (ask for the Book Dept.).

Thank you.
