ORDER THE 2018-19 GIPA BOOK 11th Annual Commemorative Book Now Available for Pre-Order!

The school year goes by way too quickly! Before you know it, it’s June. Help your child remember all of the amazing times he or she shared with their German program classmates this school year with the annual GIPA Book. This will be our 11th year producing the Book and our team is already hard at work on it. The GIPA Book measures 8.5 x 11 inches and is printed in full color on high quality, glossy paper and bound in a card stock cover. We are accepting Book pre-orders until March 31, 2019 for the price of $25.00 for GIPA members and $35.00 for non-GIPA members. As of April 1st, the Book will be available for $30.00 for GIPA members and $40.00 for non-GIPA members. Dedications & Advertisements To help us cover the cost of producing the Book, we are again offering personal dedications – a great way to recognize your child’s hard work this year! – as well as a limited number of corporate advertisements. (Any money left over after covering the production cost of the Book goes straight back into the German program to benefit our students.) The deadline to order personal dedications is March 31, 2019. How To Order Ordering Books and dedications is fast and easy at www.gipa.org/gipa-book-order-form. You can use PayPal funds or a major credit card (no PayPal account required). Or, if you prefer, you can fill out the attached paper order form and mail it with your check for the full amount to the address listed on the form. But keep in mind this may delay a response. We will print only a limited number of copies of the Book beyond what we receive in pre-orders, so don’t miss out on this chance to bring a little extra joy into your child’s life and give them something to commemorate their school days.

(Cover art from the past three GIPA Books.)
