Paw PrintParents we have a goal this year of 350 PTA members. Your help is needed. Please join and ask your family and neighbors to join our PTA. Membership is only $5. There will be a drawing for members on 11/15 for a target giftcard.
Great Western Orders/T-shirt Orders 

We want to thank everyone for their orders through Great Western.  We are expecting the orders to be here sometime in the next couple of weeks.  As soon as the delivery date is scheduled we will send out an email letting everyone know when their Great Western Orders as well as T-shirt orders can be picked up. So please be watching for that.  We will also be announcing the top winners in the near future, so watch for that announcement as well. 
We want to thank everyone for their support with the Great Western Fundraiser, with volunteering for events and support the Guilford Elementary School community.  Please email us at GuilfordElementarySchoolPTA@yahoo.com
 with ideas, questions or if you want to volunteer.
