If you are interested in staying for this meal, please call the school office by May 15 .
We have been so
blessed this year. We have had a great year with teachers and students

year. Please join us and bring any interested friends or family with
you.

What's up with all the fundraisers?
For the past several years, the PTF has been contributing over $10,000
per year to the school's budget to help make ends meet. This amount raised
is in addition to funds PTF provides for the sports program and various student
activities, such as Knoebel's. Every fund raising event puts money back
into the school, and therefore into our children's educational experience. We
appreciate all they do to help out. If you are not already helping call to
find out what you can do.
Fundraising Programs
Giant A+ Rewards program, BoxTop's, Campbell's soups, Office Depot, Aluminum can
collection, Nestle Pure Life.| Gift Card savings Program with Many local stores.
Gift Card Orders Paying Off
Families participating in the gift card program are seeing their efforts pay
off. $1,100 has been earned, with over $900 credited to
participating families' tuition accounts. Two families received a credit
of over $200 each toward the current tuition month.
If you're not taking advantage of this program, it's never too late.
Teresa Boatman, or any PTF officer, can explain to you how it works. A
little advanced planning may be required, but the results are worth your
efforts. Remember, this is 'anyway money' - since you're going to spend
money on food and gas, spend with the card that you purchased here instead of
cash and receive tuition credit!
