Target Red Card
By Cindy Turner

|
Do you have a Target Red Card yet? Now the Target Red Card saves you 5% on every Target shopping trip, every day!
Apply and get approved for a TARGET credit card (it only takes 5 minutes at the check-out). Enroll in Take Charge For Education and designate Strandwood as your school. Start shopping and using your card. Target will track purchases and send a donation check to the school. Currently, we have only 35 or so families participating in the program but we received a check last year for almost $600!!!! This is the easiest money we've ever made - passive fundraising at its best!!
For more information, go to the PTA website and click on the TARGET icon or click here.

| 8 Ways to Practice Good Manners
From our friends at Parents.com

Teaching good manners can seem like a lot of work, but it is as important as brushing teeth twice a day. As an etiquette expert who offers manners camp (Mrs. McVeigh's Manners), I have been helping children (including my own) practice etiquette for more than eight years. Any child can master the art of polite behavior. Just give it time; it will be rewarding when others note your child's respectful demeanor. Here are tried-and-true tips on how to help kids remember good manners on a daily basis.
