Events
Fund Raisers:
The PTO is excited
to be sponsoring fundraisers this year!!! We offer many
different types of fundraisers as a means to raise money for
the PTO so we may continue to provide a variety of programs
and activities for the children. Although you are not
required to participate in any fundraisers, we do appreciate
your support. Please contact Gina Costa-Goldfarb at
mommag1010@msn.com or 971-882-2402
with any questions on fundraisers. Thank you for your past and
continued support!
BJ's Fundraiser -
will begin in April. See link for application above.
Boxtops/Labels for Education - We collect the
rectangular Box Tops for Education from General Mills
products, Labels for Education UPC’s from Campbells and
Pepperidge Farm products, and Tyson A+ labels. We have
met our school-wide goal of
16,000 labels/box tops this year! As a special treat, we
will be throwing water balloons at Mr. Byrne on the last day
of school, weather permitting!
We have collected over 4,000 so far this
year! Contact

Restaurant Proceeds
Nights - Our most recent Proceeds Night, held at
Friendly's, brought in $200. There may be another proceeds
night at Chuckie Cheese to wrap up the year.
Soda
Can Tab Collection - Arleth is collecting soda can
tabs again to benefit the Ronald McDonald House in New
Brunswick. Last year we collected approx. 150,000 tabs!
Please send in our tabs with your child in an envelope or
baggie. The Ronald McDonald House is able to use the proceeds
from the tab recycling to help support their efforts to
provide housing for families of hospitalized children.
