First Book community educators: you could win a First Book Marketplace credit for your back to school needs!

When qualifying educators shop the First Book Marketplace for their teaching essentials, they can reach more kids by stretching every dollar of their budget. The marketplace offers books, school supplies, basic needs items, computers and tablets, sports equipment, and games at a fraction of retail cost. But just how many amazing resources can one get on a budget? Take the Shopping Cart Challenge to find out!

How the Shopping Cart Challenge works:

  1. Take a look at the awesome assortment of resources in the picture below:shopping cart challenge school supplies first book
  2. Comment on this First Book Facebook post with a guess on how much you think it would cost if you ordered all of these items from the First Book Marketplace (not including tax). Make sure to ‘LIKE’ our page while you’re there!
  3. The closest guess without going over (Price is Right rules apply!) will win a First Book Marketplace credit to fill up their own cart!*

*You must be a registered member of the First Book community of educators to win (Not yet registered? Click here!). Eligible educators should enter to win by posting their guess to this status on First Book’s Facebook page before 12AM on September 7, 2018. The closest guess that does not exceed the correct value will be considered the winner. If more than one person submits the correct answer, a winner with the correct answer will be chosen at random from all correct responses. The winner will be chosen on Facebook and notified via email by September 10, 2018.
