Flynn PTO Blog Post - 9-21-14


Greetings!

 

There is some repeated information in this week's post due to the fact I sent out the previous week's link in our notification email last week.  It's all still relevant and includes info regarding fund-raising, kids' sporting opportunities and upcoming events.  Take a look and see if anything interests you. - Thanks!

Box Tops for Education

This year, our school will again be participating in the Box Tops for Education™ program. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10¢ and they quickly add up to real cash for our school.

To help our school, just look for pink Box Tops on products, clip them, and send them to school. For more information on the Box Tops for Education program, including a list of participating products and our school’s progress, visit www.BTFE.com. Be sure to become a member by signing up/logging in to receive exclusive coupons and recipes and learn about extra ways for our school to earn.

We will also participate in Labels for Education.   Information can be found about participating products on LabelsforEducation.com ~basically, the campbells' soup labels and pepperidge farm goldfish are the most popular items that carry them, but many other products carry labels for education.  They are UPC labels that you can send in and then in turn exchange for supplies for the school.  We currently have around 5,000 points so we are trying to increase that amount.

Hannaford Helps Schools is a program where if you buy a certain number of products you earn a coupon worth cash for our school.  Our school is enrolled at the North Avenue Hannaford and you can drop your slips into the tower in the front of the store near the exit. 

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at denihaggerty@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Denise Haggerty

Open House

It was great to see so many wonderful families filling the halls at school!  Hopefully everyone had a chance to check out the PTO bulletin boards showing all the fun things that Flynn does and the clipboards with volunteer sign-ups.  In case you missed them, they are located next to the office in the 3/4/5 wing and in the hallway leading towards the Learning Center.  These will be up for the next few weeks so please take a moment to look at them and consider donating a little of your time to help make our school even more special for Flynn students!  Stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved!  Thanks so much for those of you who have already signed up to help!

Pictures

Everyone looked lovely on Wednesday for our picture day!  Thank you to Tammy Kuypers, Happy Vail and Sarah DeShaw for volunteering to help out with Picture Day.  You have until Monday to send in your order forms and checks.  Retake day has not yet been scheduled so stay tuned!
