It’s Sally Foster Time!

September 29, 2008

October 1 - 17

How does Sally Foster benefit you? Most people need wrapping paper and gift products throughout the year. So why not buy them from an organization that shares their profits with our school?

    Half of all money spent on Sally Foster products goes directly to TIS.

So that $10 gift wrap set you have your eye on will generate $5 in profit for our school. Please take a look at the Sally Foster catalogue, which will be in children’s folders later this week, and see if there are any products you might be interested in.

For those of you who are not familiar with Sally Foster, this is an annual fundraiser featuring gift wrap, kids’ gifts and stationery, chocolates, and other gift products. All money raised through this fundraiser goes to help pay for Capstone Academic Trips abroad, the trips taken by all 5th grade classes to a country of their adopted culture.

Box Tops and Labels!

May 5, 2008

We are still collecting the box tops and Campbell brand labels–this includes soups, Pepperidge Farm’s Goldfish, and even V-8! We no longer use the front label, but now the UPC codes. Check out our displays by the collection envelopes for more information.

There are collection envelopes in all the buildings. We will be sending in our last batch at the end of May, so start collecting now. Also, the Kleenex brand tissue boxes in your child’s classroom has a box top on the bottom. Ask your child’s teacher if you can cut them out–another way to get some volunteer hours before the end of the year! Thanks to everyone for your help in earning money for the school.

Friends and Family Night Update

May 5, 2008

Hello!
Thanks to all who attended Friends and Family Night Monday night, April 28. It was a HUGE success! Lots of fun was had by all. The weather cooperated and we had a beautiful sunny evening, the kids were able to run around and play outside while the parents were enjoying friends waiting for food or tables. There was much laughter and squeals of delight.

Best of all, we raised $1,341.00 for the school! Great job and thanks again!
CHEERS!
