| Can You Help A School Out? |
Normally I would only include a contest such as this, if Bay area schools were involved, but if you could help a school out. And maybe get more books for other schools, it would be appreciated.

| I Just Scored a Kindle E Reader for $90 Here’s How! |
I just scored a new Kindle PaperWhite for $90 (list $119) plus tax. Bargains like this usually fly under the radar, but Amazon has a promotion for a free Amazon Gift card PLUS 25% off a new Kindle E-reader. Why is this a really good deal? A re-certified Kindle PaperWhite is $99 with a 30 day return warranty. Mine is new, less expensive and has a 1 year warranty!
This is how it worked for me.
- Click on the link and answer two questions about my current Kindle.
- Next fill out the info to ship your current device to Amazon.
- Amazon then gave me a 25% off discount to apply to another Kindle. I chose another PaperWhite, but you can choose any E Reader. I selected Free Two Day Shipping so that my new Kindle would be delivered before I had to ship my old one to Amazon.
- Today my new Kindle was delivered and I will ship the old one back on Monday. As the kids would say, Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy.
Once Amazon looks at my old Kindle I will get a gift card for between $5-$25 which is icing on the cake. The promotion is scheduled to last until September 29, 2018. Click here to go to Amazon. |
| Jr. Ranger Program Open for Registration! |
|
|
 |
| Srce: Jr. Ranger |
|
The Junior Ranger Program is a great way to get your kids (both boys and girls) outdoors and into a free, safe, and fun program! Programs take place in several Santa Clara County Parks each spring and fall for kids ages 9-11 (usually 4th-5th grade). Junior rangers explore park history and nature through outdoor adventures with park staff. Students who successfully complete the program earn a badge and certificate!
Fall dates begin Sept 4, 2018. Apply now.
Also, I could not find a requirement that you be a resident of Santa Clara County to apply.
