Candy Bar Fundraiser
Our Old Kentucky Chocolates Candy Bar Fundraiser starts Tuesday, November 19th. Students will come home with 30 candy bars to sell for $1.00 each. If you do NOT want your child to sell candy bars, you must return the attached "Opt Out" form by Thursday, November 14th.
New this year: Candy Bars CANNOT be returned after 11/22/19. Due to the poor quality of returned bars in previous years (they had to be thrown away), we will not allow candy bars to be returned after the first week.
We also have a "Buy Out" option if you would like to participate in the fundraiser by making a donation (your child will receive the prize benefits based on your donation). Please see the attached form for more details, including the adjusted quantities/amounts for families with multiple students at Liberty. Funds raised from the sale of candy bars will help with our programs including Reading Is Fundamental, Science Garden/Lab, Technology, and Spring Activities.
Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive
We are asking Liberty students and staff to collect food donations which will be used to fill Thanksgiving food baskets for 30 Liberty families in need. Each classroom is requested to donate specific food items (see attached flier). We also welcome any extra donations!
We are asking for food donations to not be brought in until the week of November 11th-15th. During that week we will have boxes set up for each item, located in the primary hallway, outside the Library.
In addition to making food donations, teachers and staff can also participate by donating $10 (or more!) in exchange for a week’s worth of dress down passes. These donations help the PTA pay for the $20 turkey gift cards that are included in each basket. Please see the attached form for more details. Forms & donations (checks to Liberty Elementary PTA) are due by Wednesday, November 20th (in the drawer in the workroom). Dress down passes can be used the week of December 2nd-6th.
