One particular service that may be of interest to elementary schools is the Student Run Bookstore program.
Open a Bookstore
With this program, schools can order up to $375 worth of books, and set up a student run bookstore. The books will be shipped with "net 30", which means that your school does not have to put up the money ahead of time. You have 30 days to pay for the books.
Lots of books are available for this bookstore at $1.29.
This seems like a useful program. Perhaps a PTA/ PTO could be convinced to sponsor a program like this for your school.
