Please Support PTA's Fall Fundraiser!
Our students are selling products for the school's annual Fall PTA fundraiser. PTA supports classrooms with educational resources, sponsors fine arts education by coordinating the PTA Reflections program and hosts fun events, such as school dances. Please help our students support their school by making a purchase from the Charming catalog, Blooming wrap, and the Entertainment coupon app. MAC Fundraising will have a table set up outside the Media Center on Wednesday and Thursday please stop by and take a look at the cool products before heading to the Scholastic book fair!
If you do not wish to make a purchase, please consider making a direct donation to Arcado ES PTA with a suggested amount of $25 per family. Please make checks payable to Arcado ES PTA in a envelope marked PTA. Please mark your payment with "fundraiser donation."
Please refer to the following website for more info on the fundraiser

BoxTops
Box Tops are very important for Arcado Elementary School.
Recently, a school in our area collected enough boxtops to raise over $8000 for their school- WOW! Last year, we collected just over $1000. It only takes a few seconds to tear the box top off of the package and save them in a Ziploc bag. Put your childs name, teachers name and grade on the Ziploc bag and turn into your teacher.
Ask your aunts, uncles, grand-parents, etc to clip and save the boxtops.
