Friday-Extra Turn in Day for Entertainment Books!

There will be one last day to turn in orders and receive prizes.  We will be in the courtyard before school on Friday, September 27. 

Use this opportunity to sell a couple more books if you just missed out on earning the next prize.  We have records of what has already been turned in and we would love to give you the next prize if you sell enough books. 

There are some students that did not receive their prizes because we ran out.  Please come Friday morning to get your prizes. 

The students who earned the opportunity to spin the money wheel will be notified soon.  We plan to have that scheduled early next week.

If you have any problems getting orders turned in please contact the PTO at kmsfundraiser@gmail.com.  We are happy to work with you to take care of your order.

Time to turn in orders!

It's time to wrap up the Entertainment Book fundraiser!  Please remember that this is the our most important fundraiser of the year and allows us to fund many important projects at KMS.  The PTO is often asked to fund classroom projects so that teachers do not have to pay for necessary supplies out of their personal budgets.  We provide student grants for field trips.  We fund the eighth grade graduation festivities.  These a few examples of how these funds will be used.  The more money we earn the more good we can accomplish this year.  We will also gratefully accept cash donations at any time.

All orders should be turned in by Wednesday.  There will be a table set up in the courtyard before school and at lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 24th and 25th.  Students will turn in their orders and money and receive their books and prizes right away.  Arrangements will be made for a later pickup if a student has too many Entertainment Books to manage. 

The student's name will be entered into a raffle for $50 cash for each book they sell.  This is in addition to the fun prizes listed below.  Cash donations also earn a raffle ticket for every $10 donated.

Prizes 

Sell 1 book receive a Bling Ring.

Sell 2 books receive Glasses with a Stache.

Sell 5 books receive a voucher for a skinit cover for your phone or ipod.

Sell 10 books receive “Dr. Beat” headphones.

You earn the prizes for each level you achieve. 

Please contact kmsfundraiser@gmail.com with questions or concerns.

Entertainment Book Fundraiser FAQ

Purchasing Online

1.    If I purchase online will KMS earn proceeds?  Yes.  The link from www.kmspto.info  to browse coupons is linked to the KMS account.  We also earn money if you buy the mobile version.  The link is to a general KMS account and will not track the name of the student who made the sale.  This means students who would like to earn prizes for online sales need to set up their own account.  To do this, go to https://sellersection.entertainment.com.  The School/Group ID is 66374.

2.    How much are shipping costs for books purchased online?  Shipping is free.  This means that your friends and family around the country can buy the version specific for their area for only $30. 

3.    Why isn’t the link to preview coupons working? The Entertainment Book website is working sporadically.  Please check back.  Also, if you would like to request a book to see the coupons in person please click the Request a Book link and fill out the form.
