2014
PTA Fundraiser
It is time for our annual PTA fundraiser!!!
This
year we are offering 2 options
for our fundraiser:
Option
1:
Valentine’s Day chocolate by Bella Rose
Confections. YUMMY!!! This option is a great way to get some Valentine’s Day
goodies for your loved ones (and maybe some for yourself tooJ) and support our
school and a fantastic local business.
A flyer with a selection of items was sent home & was attached to the email sent out to parents. Please
look at the selection of items. Once you have made your
choices on Valentine’s chocolates to order (not an easy task J), please fill
out the order form. If you wish to have your child
bring the filled order home, you MUST fill out the parent waiver. No
orders will be sent home with students unless the waiver is signed!!!
Please put the order form, waiver (if applicable), and payment in the form of
cash or check (made out to Sage Hills PTA) into the provided envelope and return
to the school BY TUESDAY, JANUARY 21st!!! There
will be no refunds or exchanges after Tuesday January 21st. Envelopes
can be turned in at the office, or to your child’s teacher.
***Pick
up of orders will be at the school on Monday,
February 10th and Tuesday February 11th.
We will have a table outside the cafeteria with your order ready to pick up.
Pick up times are; Monday and Tuesday morning from 7:30am-9:30am.
Monday afternoon from 1:00pm-3:00pm
and Tuesday afternoon from 2:00pm-4:00pm.
Remember, if you want your child to bring your order home, you MUST sign the
parent waiver!
As an incentive, any student
who sells 3 items will get to choose
a prize. Either a smencil OR a
spirit stick. Any student who sells 5 items
or more will get BOTH!!!
(Bella Rose will be donating 40% of the sales to
our PTA, which directly benefits the school and school activities!!!)
Option
2:
Direct donation. We are offering this second
option for those who still want to help the PTA help
the school, but may not want to place a chocolate order.
Please donate any amount you see fit to
donate in the form of cash or check (made out to Sage Hills PTA) and seal it in
the provided
envelope.
Please put your child’s name, grade, and teacher
on the envelope. Envelopes can be turned in to the office or to the student’s
teacher. All envelopes are due back at school by Tuesday January 21st.
As an incentive students who
donate $10
will get to choose a prize. Either a smencil OR a spirit stick. $20
or more will get them BOTH!!!
*please note; donations are allowed at any time
to the PTA, but we’d like to get as many as possible during our fundraiser
week, so we have a better idea what activities and programs we can do for next
year. So, if you choose to donate, please take this timeframe to do so. Thank
you
FAQ:
Why
does the PTA need a fundraiser? PTA is not given a budget from the national PTA
to use how we see fit; we are responsible for raising our own funds. We
are allowed 1 fundraiser every year to pay for the
following year’s activities. Many parents are under the assumption that
Hogwarts is the fundraiser. We apologize for not being clearer on that matter.
This year Hogwarts night was not the fundraiser. Hogwarts funds are used to pay
for Hogwarts the following year, and we are using the extra money made from
Hogwarts this year to directly benefit the school with needed items that will
be owned by the school PTA and loaned to the school for their use and benefit.
PTA funds made through the fundraiser pay in part, or in full, for many things.
Such as take home reading library, paper, books, educational kits, teacher
appreciation supplies, choir, school plays, and after school programs. We have had many fantastic parent suggestions
on activities and programs we really want to introduce for the 2014-2015 school
year, and it is our responsibility to pay for them. The state does not pay for
our extra-curricular activities; these are the responsibility of the PTA.
Why
do a fundraiser, and not just ask for donations? We could just ask for
donations, but we are all part of a community, not just a school, and as a PTA
we decided this year to support one of our community businesses!!!
We hope this answers some of the questions we as
parents may have. If you have any other questions concerning PTA funds or how
they are distributed, you are always welcome to come to the PTA meetings, or
email the board directly at sagehillspta@gmail.com
