We will graciously accept donations throughout the year. We will end the No Bake Sale Drive on November 10, so that we can order/deliver the participation prizes, as well  as the prize drawings.
Please print out the No Bake Sale Donation Form, and get those "Dough-Nations" brought in. You can also request donations from your friends and family. Your donation is tax deductible. Additional Paper Donation Forms and the Program Overview are available on the PTO Table in the Front Lobby.

KING SOOPERS RE-LOADABLE GIFT CARDS!  

I've had several requests from parents that aren't able to come in and buy their card(s), so I'm happy to announce that you can now order your card(s), and they will come home in Thursday Folders! Return the form with payment to the Front (West) Office by end of the school day Friday, October 28, 2011. Cards will come home the following week. Cards are $5.00, and have a $5.00 balance on them. You can load and re-load (up to $500 each time) as often as you'd like at any King Soopers/City Market Store!

YOU CAN use them at the register for your normal purchases and at the Fuel Centers!!

YOU CAN re-load them using your Credit Card, so you'll earn your Credit Card Points!
YOU DO still use your Sooper Card at the register, so you'll earn your Fuel Points!

TPCA earns a 5% Rebate for EVERY DOLLAR loaded/re-loaded on your card!
Cards can also be purchased for Friends and Family to use! It's a great way for your friends and family to help support the students at TPCA.
