Yankee Candle Fundraiser Our annual fall fundraiser is scheduled to begin Wednesday, September 21st, and run through October 5th. This fundraiser always does very well at Thomas Prince School. Please continue to support PTA by stocking up on a great quality product at very competitive prices. If you’d like to help with this fundraiser, please drop a note in the PTA mailbox, or contact Kristin Hojnoski.
BoxTops for Education PTA will again be collecting BoxTops for Education. We’ve raised nearly $600 in the past two years through this program. So keep clipping! Each classroom has a collection box, and prizes will be awarded monthly to the class that collects the most.
Big Y and Price Chopper Shopping Points These local grocery stores offer points awards programs to area schools. Simply by registering your shopping card, you can accumulate points for Thomas Prince School! Last year we were able to obtain a DVD/VCR player and gym/recess equipment through the program. So when you are in either store, please register your card to our school. The school code for Big Y is 6287. The code for Price Chopper is 14256. This is an easy way to earn credit for much-needed materials. Please register your cards at the store customer service desk, or on the store websites.
Rewards for Reading ProgramThe PTA Rewards for Reading Program wrapped up this past Friday with a lunchtime drawing. All participants received chance tickets based on the number of books they read and logged over the summer. Prizes included passes and gift certificates from several area businesses and amusements. 50 students participated in the program, reading over 625 books. Congratulations to all the participants! Let’s double the number of participants for next year!!
