🎶 Reminder: The Large Group Open House is TODAY at 12:30 in the gym 🎶

Hello elementary parents!
Attached are pictures for the PTA fundraiser that begins TODAY!
Through Leading Edge Fundraising, the students in the elementary will be selling products from Smoke Haus Healthy Choice such as hunter sticks, venison sticks, beef jerky, and MORE! All items are $22 each and the PTA will receive 40% of that to put back into the school and towards a big surprise for the students!
Why support the PTA? Where do the funds go?
Because the PTA funds things like:
•Scholastic News Magazines
•State Testing Snacks
•Muffins for moms/Donuts for dads
•Teacher Appreciation Week
•Events for the students (Daddy Daughter Dance & Mother Son Nerf Battle)
•And more!
Your child will be bringing home a poster with information and steps on what they need to do.
Each child NEEDS to create an account on the website.
The student code is: S5TVHJ
Enter your child’s name and other information. Then select their grade and their teacher’s name.
Student sales will be ALL ONLINE. They can still sell to you in person, but will need access to their personalized QR code for you to scan.
Shipping options include having it shipped directly to you (cost is TBD depending on the size of the order) or you can choose student delivery and the child will be responsible for delivering!
Delivery date is tentatively 3-4 weeks after the fundraiser ends on April 18th.
Please contact Alicia Kaup or Marissa Stoecker with any questions!
