Laptop Sleeves
Upon receipt of the sleeve, all students are expected to carry their laptop in the sleeve when not in use. The sleeve is small enough when carrying the laptop that it should fit inside a student's backpack.
As with the laptop itself, please do not adhere any kind of permanent name or identification stickers to the sleeve. However, students are allowed to attach a luggage tag to the bag for easy identification.
PTO Fundraiser
We have officially begun our fourth week of the 2017-2018 school year by kicking off our Buffett Middle School PTO Fundraiser! This World’s Finest Chocolate Bar fundraiser is our only school-wide fundraiser of the school year, and we are very excited to support Buffett students in this event.
In the past, the Buffett fundraiser has helped fund a 3-D printer, a new football scoreboard, iPads, and many more items for our school. This year, the fundraiser will support this year's family fun night, teacher grants, and other specific educational needs at Buffett Magnet.
Your student has been given a white fundraiser letter with all of the specific information about the World’s Finest Chocolate Bar fundraiser, including selling dates, a parent signature tear-off, and information about incentives your student may receive for selling. Below are some of the specifics of this PTO fundraiser:
- The PTO fundraiser will run September 12th-25th.
- We require a parent/guardian signature, permitting your student to sell and guaranteeing payment for each case of chocolate bars checked out. Here is the fundraiser letter.pdf
- Each case of chocolate bars contain 60 bars, each to be sold for $1 per bar.
- Students may pick up a case of chocolate bars during Bobcat Den any day within the selling time period.
- Each student may only have one unpaid box of chocolates out at a time.
- Unfortunately, there are no returns on open cases.
- In lieu of selling chocolate bars, parents, family, and friends may make a donation to the Buffett PTO. Each $30 cash or check donation will equal one case of sold chocolate bars. This is an excellent alternative to parents and students who may find it difficult to sell chocolate bars, but who would still like to support Buffett AND qualify for the fundraising prizes!
Please review the fundraiser letter with your Buffett student and encourage him or her to participate in this year’s fundraiser!
