Install The Wall - Fundraising Contacts
Keep track of the busineses and groups we contact so we don't "double up" on them.

Click here to help in the Heath Room: http://www.editgrid.com/user/johanson_liz/Health_Room

After School Programs

Fundraising
I'm a working parent or not available during the day:
**Help with our Emergency Prep food/water/first aid for the school. We need to review this and replace some items every year...not necessarily during working hours.
**Be the Parent Liaison for each class or grade. This is a “pass thru” for information. Our PTSA Board will give you the info....simply communicate it to the teacher and parents in your class via email/phone/etc. Helps us keep teachers and parents up to date as events happen and get better feedback from them returned to the PTSA.
**Help with the Ice Cream Social, Family Literacy Night, Make It Take It Fair, or Family Movie NIghts. All are evening or weekend events that don't require extensive time commitment.
**Put together a PTSA newsletter. We'd love to have one per month - or whatever is possible. Collect or create articles and design the layout. Almost all could be done from home online. (And yes, we’d love to make this electronic and send out thru the school email network)
**We desperately need and would adore having someone look into is Grant Writing. Sit at home scouring the internet for the correct grant opportunities and then write up the grants. Or any other creative fundraising ideas!
Email lynetteapley@hotmail.com if you can help with any of these.
