The Bearly Used Book Sale, named for Pine Grove's panda bear mascot, will feature used books aplenty, along with special guest readers, activities for kids and more, Foreman wrote in an email.
"The Bearly Used Sale is the first step in a nascent PTA fund drive to raise approx. $50,000 for the school to purchase much-needed technology," Foreman wrote in an email. "The fund drive will not officially kick off until next school year, but this is the unofficial start."
