PTO's Petty Fundraising

* BREAKING NEWS * 
from Paul Asimow, 
your petty fundraising czar!

We will be doing an order 
of gift cards from
shopwithscrip.com
for the end of the 
school year.

In other words, we're already paying for shipping. So, if you like physical gift cards more than e-cards, now is your chance to top up your stash of gift cards for teacher appreciation and those occasions that arise in life where you just need a gift for somebody in a hurry... If you want to join the buy, please fill out the *order form* and return it to the office or to Paul Asimow by Friday, May 27.


Thanks for your support,  PAUL

Weizmann Endowment Needs YOU!
When does $6,800 = $11,000?
(No, it's not new math and it's not common core math.)
$6,800 grows into $11,000 
when the BJE contributes benchmark funds!

Please help us cross the Generations Endowment Fund finish line. 

We are on the last leg of this campaign & are asking everyone, 
"If you value Jewish education, give today - to ensure tomorrow!"
It's easy to give, simply call the office to make your donation.
