Our Scholastic Book Fair will take place during the second week of December. We are in the planning stages now and need many volunteers! This is a fun way to complete your "Three for Me" volunteer hours! Duties include cashier, assisting teachers/students with book selections, decorating and special events. The committee will be holding it's first meeting next week. If you are interested in working on this committee (or volunteering during the actual book fair) email Tammy at the address below.

The art work has been submitted for the Display My Art Fundraiser. We are expecting to receive the brochures and magnets sometime this next week. You will have about 2 weeks to complete your orders. They can be done online or you can use a paper form and check. Product will be delivered between the 6th and 12th of December. I know the students are really excited to share their work with you!

We are getting ready to kick off another Fundraising Event! How would you like to raise money for our school without selling items (or purchasing them yourself!)? What if I told you that you can do it on a regular basis without spending any differently than you already do? Sound interesting? The PTA is starting a Scrips program. In a nutshell, families purchase gift cards from the school to use instead of cash/check/credit cards while doing their regular shopping. This is also great for holiday gifts! You'll be amazed to see how many of your favorite retailers are available through this program! The retailers sell us the gift cards at a reduced rate and the difference is our profit! The percentage varies by retailer (usually between 2-14%) but your gift card is worth the full face value. Flyers will be coming home this week with more details and we will be holding some informational meetings.

If you have questions about any of these programs or volunteer opportunities, please contact Tammy Spatz at tamspatz@gmail.com.
