Thanks a Billion

Target started their "Thanks a Billion" Teacher Appreciation Campaign last week. Through this campaign, Target will donate up to $25,000 per participating school until their goal of $5 million is reached. We, along with parents, friends, and loved ones, can help earn money for PCES by following a few simple steps. Per Target's terms and conditions for this campaign, you must have a Facebook page to participate.  

For each "Thank You" written and submitted through the "Thanks a Billion" site, Target will donate $25 to our school. You can write as many thank you notes as you want, but the first note is the only one that will provide a donation. 

Please follow these steps to write a thank you note and get a $25 donation for PCES:

1. visit http://thanksabillion.target.com this link may not work on our school computers since it has a fb access

2. select the "log in with Facebook" button

3. it will then ask for the site to have access to your FB page...you will need to select ok to continue

4. search for our school by zip code - 36867

5. select Phenix City Elementary School

6. write a short thank you note - you can write it to a specific teacher or just a general note to the staff

7. use the hashtag #thanksabillion in your note (you can add it to the end)

8. submit 

This campaign ends June 15. Please encourage your family and friends with a facebook page to submit a thank you note for our school.

Columbus/Phenix City - Enjoy the City! coupon books

Coupon books are being sent home today with students.  Each book is only $20.  Not only does our school benefit from these sales, but the book pays for itself after only 1-2 uses.  Also, for every 5 books you sell, you earn 1 free book!

 

Please remember, this is not meant to be a door to door sale.  Students are to simply sell to family members, friends, and close neighbors.

 

The funds generated from your support will be used for student recognition, which will directly be of benefit to your student.  If every student at PCES sells just 1 book, PCES will earn over $7,000!!!

 

All orders are due no later than Wednesday, October 8, 2014.  We are providing you a sample coupon book to show family and friends.  This sample book must also be returned to the school by October 8th.  Any sample books not returned by this date will be charged to the school, and this will directly impact all students.

 

Thank you for supporting our students!



Turkey Feathers

PCES is raising money for Relay for Life, and having a little friendly competition between classes.  Each class has a turkey body hanging in the lunchroom.  We are selling turkey feathers for $0.25 each.  Students then get to decorate their turkey feather and hang it on our class' turkey.  The class with the most feathers by Wednesday, Nov. 20, wins an extra hour of P.E. time!

Help our class raise money for a great cause, as well as beat the other classes - bring in those quarters!

A Few Reminders

If you have not returned coupon books please do so ASAP!  They were due today.

Fall Festival information went home today.  The annual PCES Fall Festival will be on October 4, 2013, from 12-3 pm on the track beside PCES.  The afternoon will be full of fun, food, games, blow-ups, and more!

Wrist bands have gone on sale.  They are $7 each, and will allow your child acces to all of the planned events.  Students will need additional money to purchase food items and if they wish to complete a craft project.

Parents, we are also accepting donations of individually wrapped candy as well as those of you who wish to donate your time on the day of the event.  We will need volunteers to help set up and operate the games, work the concession stand, and help ensure that our students have a fun, safe environment.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to volunteer!

Coupon Books

Parents, yesterday we sent home Enjoy the City coupon books.  This is one of the very few fundraisers our school participates in.  Not only are you helping our school to raise money, but these coupon books are really great investments.  If used, they can save you a lot of money!  : )

Here's what you can do:

*Show the sample book to family and friends.  They cost $20.

*Collect the money from those who wish to purchase, and take their name down, but don't give your book away yet.

*Send money in daily to the school.  I will collect it and get you a receipt.

*The last day to turn in coupon book sales money is September 9.  Books will be delivered no later than September 12.

If you choose not to participate, please return the sample book back to the school.

PRIZES:

*For every 5 books a student sells, the parents earn a free book!

*Every student who sells 5 books gets an extra 30 minutes of PE!

*The top seller from each class gets to come to a pizza party where we draw for $50!

*The top selling class gets an ice cream party!

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for your help in this endeavor!
