100% of these contributions will directly fund books for our students.
How do students get all 3 reward prizes?
Their parent or guardian must enter at least 10 emails or cell phone numbers at the link shown on the treasure map. Prizes will be given out to the first students who complete the challenge initially and the remainder of the students will receive their reward prizes at the end of the Book Blast. Act quickly!
How many contacts must be submitted to be entered in the drawings?
10 emails or cell phone numbers must be entered for students to be entered
How will a teacher know if a student has completed the challenge?
Reports are sent daily to the school with the names of the students who have completed the challenge. If a student believes they have completed the challenge but have not received their rewards, it may be that an email was incorrect. Please check the report sent to your school's Book Blast contact for a count of the number of contacts entered.
How many books do students get?
Every student is guaranteed at least one book from the books shown in the treasure map as long as the school completes the activities required such as distributing treasure maps, showing students the above videos, and communicating with parents. Students can earn up to 10 books from the online contributions of their friends and family. The average book cost is $12.00 per book.
What happens if a student receives more contributions than the cost of their 10 books?
Additional contributions are used to cover the cost of their schoolmate's books and, if possible, purchase more books for those students who receive the fewest.
Is the contact information entered kept private or is it sold?
All contact information entered is completely safe and kept private. It is only used to help students get contributions for their Book Blast. It is never shared, sold or used for outside marketing purpose.
Looking to get rid of some stuff? Consider donating to Bufftown Bargains in Jamestown. Let them know you want your donation to go to Pingree-Buchanan Schools and the proceeds from those sales will get donated back to the school.
