PTSS General Membership Meeting September 12, 2013

Tonight’s Agenda Pledge of Allegiance Welcome & PTSS Board Introduction Principal’s Report – Tara Tahmosh-Newell What has the PTSS been working on? UnFundraiser

Let’s avoid magazine sales, chocolate sales, popcorn sales and all the others!! We are not asking you to buy OR sell anything! We are simply asking for students/families to collect donations to help raise $$ for our school. SSA+S receives 100% of donations! Any $10 donation brought in by an SSA+S student during the two week time frame will receive 1 dress down day, $20 = 2 dress down days, and so on up to $50 worth of donations for 5 dress down days. Additional donations are always appreciated! Participation is not mandatory but simply encouraged in an effort to raise money ~ don’t forget to ask friends & family!

UnFundraiser September 23 – 27 –Information sent home, 2-week collection September 30 – October 4 –Donation & Business Partner Collection Week October 7 – 11 –PTSS Processing Week October 14 – 18 –Dress Down Week
