San Pasqual Academy Foster Youth Receive Book Donations from the Community San Pasqual Academy, a residential high school for foster youth in Escondido, were the recipients of Barnes & Noble’s annual holiday book drive for the second year in a row. During the holidays, Barnes & Noble customers were encouraged to donate books and other products from a student-created “wish list”. Immediately after the holidays, SPA’s foster youth received thousands of books, CDs, and DVDs, donated by the customers of Barnes &Noble in Escondido. City National Bank teamed up with Barnes & Noble in their philanthropy by matching the total cost of donations from the community. The money was used towards enriching the school’s library and fulfilling students’ “wish lists”. San Pasqual Academy has a long-standing relationship with Barnes & Noble of Escondido. The UROK Book Club works with Community Relations Managers to select appropriate and engaging books for students to foster a lifelong love of reading. Students who participate in the UROK Book Club are rewarded for their participation with books, Barnes & Noble gift cards, and pizza parties.— April 5, 2013 5:33 p.m.
