VOLUNTEER COMMITTEES

Children and their families are welcome to browse the large selection of books and purchase their favorites when the library is transformed into a magical bookstore.  This event is in association with Scholastic Books and benefits the classrooms by helping provide much-needed reading materials for all classrooms.

At the end of each month volunteers will invite students whose birthday fall that month to visit the library to sign a book of their choosing.  Students will buy the book and sign inside it with their message. The book will then be placed inside the library.  Books are approved by San Diego school district.

To celebrate our visual and performing arts programs as part of our fundraising efforts, the AFP partners with Barnes and Noble bookstore to host an art display and music concert.  We raise money through book sales at Barnes and Noble and a restaurant fundraiser that evening.  Your family eats at a designated restaurant, the restaurant will return a portion of the proceeds from those sales to our school. We need someone to choose the restaurants, schedule and coordinate the fundraiser.
