PGE collects Box Tops for Education to earn money that goes directly to the school. Each Box Top is worth $.10 - and they really add up! Look through your pantry and at the grocery store for items that participate. Ask your family, friends, or coworkers to collect for PGE too. Check out the BTFE website https://www.boxtops4education.com/ for bonus offers, coupons, sweepstakes, additional Collection Sheets, and more! And look at these numbers: PGE has about 590 students and a goal of earning $1000 for the school year. If each student collected only 5 Box Tops each month, the school could TRIPLE its goal!!  Save the Date for a sweet treat that will raise some sweet funds for the PTA!
Join the PTA on Saturday September 22 at Menchie's Frozen Yogurt in Perring Plaza for some FroYo, and when you mention you're supporting PGE, Menchie's will generously donate 15% of sales to the PGE PTA. Bring your family and friends, tell your neighbors and co-workers! Thank you Menchie's! |
