The Harry Stone Montessori Academy PTA does some little things that mean BIG results. These programs give a percentage of cash back to the PTA for all of your purchases. (Campbell’s gives school supplies)

Fall Fundraiser
In an effort to raise most of our budget early in the year, we have chosen a fundraiser that we believe is very affordable ($4 per Y-Tie) and easy. We have an unlimited supply of order envelopes, and they will be available through the end of December. Your child should bring the order to school in the envelope with cash and turn it in to his/her teacher. Your child will receive the order within the next 2 days. If every child sells 5 pair, we will make the majority of our 08-09 PTA budget by the end of 2008. Then, we will be able to focus on meeting the additional needs we have identified for Harry Stone. Prizes will be awarded to the individual kid and classroom who sells the most Y-ties. Click any of the following links for more information:

Other Ways You Can Help

1) Bring BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION from General Mills products to the collection bin in the library. We get 10 cents for each box top collected and they do add up!!!!

2) Save Campbell’s Soup products LABELS FOR EDUCATION and bring them to the library. Due to recent program changes, Campbell’s only accepts UPC bar codes and lids (no front labels please). With these, we are able to “bank” our points and save up for something really cool for the school!!

3) When you shop at Tom Thumb (Safeway), register your Reward Card to Harry Stone by giving our number 2655 to the cashier. Registration is required only once. Tom Thumb will reward our school with 1% of your purchase back in cash. Also, if you go to www.backtoschools.escrip.com and put in your reward card number, we can earn 10% of certain purchases you have made between July 18th and October 6th. (p.s we’ve earned $37.00 from escrip so far)
