PTA Fall Fundraiser 
Charleston Wrap

We are in the middle of our PTA fall fundraiser selling Charleston Wrap products. The children are enjoying being rewarded with "pop-eyed pets" for making sales. There is just over a week left to shop and sell. Orders are due September 8th. There are lots of high quality kitchen and home items plus gift wraps to choose from. The packet containing catalogs and order forms went home with your child on Monday, August 25th. However, you can always shop online. Anyone can order online at:  www.charlestonwrap.com. 

Be sure to register your child so they can get credit for the sale. Take advantage of the long weekend with friends and family and sell Charleston Wrap. Remember to send in signed coupons for all items sold to collect different pop-eyed pets! Thank you for supporting PTA and our school.
