Dear Parents and Guardians,
My name is Amy Green and I am the volunteer Box Tops Coordinator
at the Paine Elementary Campus. Last year, our schools earned over
$10,600 by simply clipping and saving Box Tops. I am proud to say that
our schools ranked #1 in the state of Alabamaand
#22 in the country last year!
This year, our goal is to raise $12,000 for our schools. Here
are three easy ways you can help:
Clip — Clip the Box Tops from hundreds of participating
products. Each one is worth 10¢ when our school redeems them from Box Tops
for Education. Please check the expiration dates, trim them neatly (it cuts
down on shipping costs), and turn them in to your child's teacher. You
may place them in Ziploc bags with your teacher's names on it. We
collect Box Tops all year long, so you can send them in anytime. We
will have contests for each grade, with the winning classes in each receiving
a pizza party. Deadlines for the contests will be October 9, 2013
and February 12, 2014. Ask your friends, neighbors and family
members to help your child and join our fundraising effort by clipping them
for Paine.
Shop online — Shop at your favorite online stores through the
Box Tops Marketplace® (boxtops4education.com/marketplace). Our school can
earn eBoxTops® with every qualifying purchase you make, at no additional cost
to you.
Sign up to support our school at boxtops4education.com, where
you can:
• See how much our school is earning with Box Tops
• Enter online promotions for chances to win eBoxTops and other
prizes
• Print coupons for your favorite Box Tops brands
You can also sign up for Box Tops email newsletters that will
keep you updated on the program, and for Marketplace newsletters that include
offers from online retailers where you can earn eBoxTops.
To learn more, visit boxtops4education.com. Thanks for choosing
to make a difference for our school with Box Tops. Let's strive to
reach our goal of over $12,000 for our schools!
Sincerely,
Amy Green
Box Tops Coordinator for the Paine Elementary Campus

One of the prizes for
selling is this adorable Husky dog!
Innisbrook Fundraiser 2013 – 2014
We
are so excited to kick off our Innisbrook Fundraiser!! Be looking for the packets
to come home on Wednesday, August, 28th.
FAQ’s
1. How can my child participate in
the Innisbrook Fundraiser?
Your
child can sell online at www.innisbrook.com or show their catalog to friends,
neighbors, family, etc. Please do not sell door-to-door. Think Safety!
2. Selling, collecting money and
delivery - how does it work?
·
Online orders are paid by credit
card at the time of purchase and are shipped directly to the customer. No money
to collect, no items to deliver, no forms to send to school. Innisbrook prizes
will be delivered to school and distributed to your child in October. IMPORTANT!!
If the order includes chocolates the entire order will be delayed at
Innisbrook’s discretion until cooler weather. However, it will arrive in
time for holiday gift giving.
·
EZ Orders* will have one check
made out to Paine PTO for the total and are shipped to school. There is
only one order summary sheet to print out and one check to turn in on September
12th. Please include your order summary number on the check.
Products (including Innisbrook prizes) will be delivered to your child’s
classroom mid-October. You will be notified when the products arrive. Parents
must come to the school to pick up large orders. No large boxes will be allowed
on the buses. Items must fit in backpack’s to be allowed on the bus.
*Once you register your student on www.innisbrook.com, EZ Order, School Code (101123),
then you will be asked if you would like to email friends or relatives about
this sale. Any emails that you send will create a direct link for your friends
and family which will give your child credit for that sale. You will receive an
email if friends or family order through your link.
·
Handwritten catalog orders will
have individual checks made out to Paine PTO, turned in no later than September
12thand shipped to school. PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THE FORM
BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN!!! We do not have access to these forms after September
12th. For handwritten orders, please double check the addition and
include all checks. You may wish to write one check for all your orders and
collect the money individually.
*NOTE: Please be aware if an item says “Available Online Only”
they cannot be ordered for delivery to the school.
ALL CHECKS MUST INCLUDE STUDENT
NAME AND TEACHER IN THE MEMO LINE
3. What about prizes?
Innisbrook
Prizes: All Innisbrook prizes are cumulative this year and Innisbrook prizes
will be sent home with products when they are delivered. We are pleased
to provide Husky Prizes this year. Please see the Husky Prize coupon
sheet and send in those coupons as prize levels are reached. Husky prizes
will be awarded each Friday of the sale.
We
will have a GRAND PRIZE of a PUMP IT UP party for any students that sell over
$250 in merchandise. This will take place in Trussville during school hours.
4. Can we opt out of the sale and
still get a prize?
Yes,
for ANY Husky Prizes you can donate ½ of the prize amount and
receive a Husky prize, for example if you make a $37.50 donation your child
will be eligible to attend the Kona Ice Party on September 18th
during school hours a donation of $75 and your child will receive the stuffed
husky dog prize. Also, you make a donation of $125 or more your child
will be welcome to attend the party at PUMP IT UP during school hours.
5. Is September 12th the
absolute last day to turn in orders?
Yes,
we will be unable to accept orders after September 12th. Any
orders turned in after September 12thwill NOT be eligible for
Husky prizes.
6. Where does the money go that is
raised from this fundraiser?
100%
of all PTO fundraising profits go back directly to our schools. Your money
helps to fund solid surfaces for the playgrounds and mulch for the playgrounds,
$10,000 in classroom donations, copies for the teachers to use throughout the
year, materials and equipment for our classrooms and $11,000 in donations for
the specialists (art, PE, music, library, computer and counselors).
7. Who do I contact if I have a
problem?
Please
email the fundraiser team (PRIMARY: staci.rush@painepto.org or INTERMEDIATE: amy.gay@painepto.org)
with any questions or concerns you may have. Remember….the PTO is a 100%
volunteer organization. We will answer you as soon as possible.
Thanks to the combined
funds of TCS Board, our PTO fundraising, and the Boosterthon Fun Run, we were
able to build a new playground for our students.
A goal for the upcoming
year is to build a garden for all students to enjoy. We want to
incorporate gardening and botany in our studies for all students.
Presently, our GaTE students have six gardens in this area where they
grow various vegetables. See the drawing below of our future vision for
the P.I. garden.
Presently, we have six
square foot gardens between the third and fourth grade wings.
Thank
you in advance for your support of our PTO fundraiser!
