In addition to offering a robust discount — which applies to
personal as well as classroom purchases — Borders stores across the
country will host various activities for educators including author
signings, musical performances, raffles and more during Educator
Appreciation Days. (Events will vary by store.) Teachers can, of
course, use the discounts on items throughout the store including
products in the Borders Teaching Zone section, which features
educational workbooks, curriculum development books, inspirational
narratives, as well as many non-book items such as stickers and
classroom decor products.
Current educators including pre K-grade 12 teachers as well as
certified homeschoolers, school administrators, librarians and
college instructors can all take advantage of the Educator
Appreciation Days special savings opportunity, which also includes
10% off DVDs for classroom use, each time they present their
Borders Classroom Discount Card, which is available for free at all
Borders and Waldenbooks stores nationwide.
Sign Up for Borders Bucks Donations
The company today also reminded customers that they too can
support their favorite teachers by donating the Borders Bucks
they've accrued to a classroom – and Borders will match their
donations, dollar for dollar. (Rewards members accrue $5 in Borders Bucks for every $150 spent on qualifying purchases.) Borders
believes these donations of Bucks can help teachers garner
necessary reading and scholastic materials for the classroom.
All that is required for a teacher to receive Bucks donations is
to show proof of educator status at any Borders or Waldenbooks
store and then visit borders.com/rewards to register. Once
registered, customers can visit the site and donate their Bucks.
Teachers can use the donated Bucks to purchase classroom materials
and supplies at any Borders or Waldenbooks store and online at
Borders.com.
