PTA
Membership:
At FHES, we encourage all parents, faculty and staff to
work together for the benefit of all of our children,
by joining the FHES PTA. The PTA gives us a voice in how
our children are educated. We would like to see 100% participation
in the PTA. Our PTA benefits the kids in many ways, including:
grade level field trips, purchase of periodicals and agenda
books, purchase of special equipment needed (ex. copiers,
band equipment, art equipment) and many other activities.
If you would like more information about joining the FHES
PTA, please contact Kathy Forthman.
Box
Tops:
Simply by cutting the Box Tops off the products that you
buy all the time and sending them in to school with your
child marked "Boxed Tops", you are helping to raise money
for FHES. Twice a year General Mills donates $.10 to FHES
for each Box Top submitted. In the 2007-2008 school years,
that added up to more than $2,243! Keep those Box Tops
coming - let's set a record! Go to the website: www.boxtops4education.com

Target - Take Charge of Education

checking account, just liking writing a check without any fees and offers many benefits. Click here for an
application http://redcard.target.com/redcard/page.jsp?contentid=rc_tck_application or apply at your local

Here's how it works: Visit www.target.com/tcoe
or call 1-800-316-6142 to designate our school, then
use your REDcard whenever you shop. When you use your
REDcardSM (Target® Visa® Credit Card, Target Credit

Giant
BonusBucks:
Ask family and friends to designate our school!
What
it is:
With A+ BonusBucks, points accrue with each purchase that
uses the Giant Card. It even works with purchases made
online with Peapod by Giant. At the end of each month,
these points determine your school's cash total which
is automatically credited to its account and school totals
updated each month. (Please note: Gift cards, pharmacy,
alcohol and/or cigarette purchases are excluded from accruing
points.)
How it Works: A+ BonusBucks are rounded per transaction
to the nearest whole dollar amount. At the end of each
month, each school's dollar amount is determined which
is then automatically credited to its account.

Scholastic
Book Fair:
This fair takes place in the fall and spring. A great
opportunity to buy books and learning games for the whole
family, the book fair offers plenty of material for all
ages. Take advantage of the opportunity for a little early
Holiday/Birthday shopping while helping the PTA earn valuable
dollars and the faculty earn books and instructional material.
The fall book fair will run the week of October
20 - 24 with set up and preview days October
15 - 17. The spring book fair will be help in mid April.
We can always use extra help with set - up as well as
help during the school day while children shop and purchase
books. Don't forget to check out the teacher wish lists
posted in the hall during the sale. If you'd like to help
or want more information please contact Beth Appleby at
beth.appleby@verizon.net. The book fair allows us to earn
dollars as well as free books and instructional materials
for the teachers and media center. Last year we made $3,000.00
in cash plus free materials.

Spirit Wear:
Is clothing that is sold in the fall and in the spring
and contains a unique school logo. The items offered for
sale are not part of a fundraising program, they are simply
just worn to promote school spirit and reflect one's support
for Forest Hill Elementary. The students often wear spirit
wear during field trips, school events and on Fridays
which are called "school spirit" days. We have samples
available at the school prior to and during each sale
in case there are any questions. Please look for our fall
flyers to be sent home on September 29th. Our sale will
end on October 17th and the orders will then be available
within 4 weeks, plenty of time for the holiday! The items
will be sent home with the students. If you are placing
an order as a gift or a secret, please mark your order
form so that I can contact you to make arrangements to
get you the items rather than sending them with your child.
Tax is already included on the order forms and all checks
should be made payable to FHES PTA. Please contact Sharon
M. Wagner with any questions. Our spring sale will run
at the end of April beginning of May.
