PTO No Bake Sale
TPCA PTO NO BAKE SALE HAS BEGUN !!! This is our BIG, YEARLY Fundraising Drive! All we're asking for is cash donations! There is no selling, no inventory to deliver, and definitely NO BAKING! We hope to raise $25,000 this year and average around $40 per student. Any amount that your family is able to donate (tax deductible) will help us tremendously! You can ask your friends and family to make a monetary contribution, and many employers have a Matching Gifts Program. Every dollar counts! We will graciously accept donations throughout the year. We will end the No Bake Sale Drive on November 10 so that we can deliver the participation prizes and conduct the prize drawings. We have very cool prizes this year! The funds we raise directly support the students, staff, teachers, and the campus. The PTO financially assists and supports many functions and activities: * Teacher/ Classroom Supplies * Field Trip Assistance * Volunteer Appreciation * 6th Grade Outdoor Ed * 8th Grade Graduation * Family/Student Social Events * Conference Meals * As feasible, and as requested, we support all the various groups, clubs, and teams,and SO MANY other things during the year. The PTO is always open to input and suggestions from parents, and we strongly encourage you to come to our meetings! For additional information on the No Bake Sale, or how to help the PTO, please contact any of the PTO Members!

Box Tops for Education
Remember to collect those Box Tops. The K - 5 grades and Middle School grade that collects the most Box Tops by October 21, 2011 will win a popcorn party! Look for Box Tops on products you already buy. Be sure to register at http://www.boxtops4education.com/ and track our progress.
Our goal this year is $2,432.00. If every student turns in just 3 per month we will make our goal.
Box Tops funds help the PTO support Twin Peaks Charter Academy, our teachers and their classrooms.
