ROUND ROCK LEADER
April 2, 2008
The Fern Bluff Elementary PTA will sponsor a book fair at the La Frontera location of Barnes and Noble until Sunday, April 6, benefiting a memorial for three of its teachers killed in 2007.
For those Round Rock Barnes and Noble customers who mention the Fern Bluff memorial, 10 percent of their purchases will go toward the memorial, said Fern Bluff PTA president Shelly Compton.
As of Tuesday, the Fern Bluff PTA had received approximately $184 from book sales at Barnes and Noble.
Since February, the Fern Bluff PTA has raised $6,800 for the memorial and fountain project, Compton said.
Along with shopping for books, the public is welcome to listen to guest readers (Fern Bluff teachers and administrators) Friday evening and over the weekend during storytime events. The weekend storytime events are Saturday at 10 a.m., noon and 4 p.m. Sunday's storytime event is scheduled for 2 p.m.
The official dedication of the Fern Bluff memorial is Sunday, May 18 in the school's cafeteria.
First-grade teacher Debbie Picha, speech therapist Susan Blount and Patricia Matheny, former Fern Bluff school counselor, were killed in June 2007 in a car accident in the 17600 block of U.S. Highway 71 West, near Bee Creek Road.
