As a Presidency we are excited for the upcoming school year. As we met to discuss what was
expected of us for the year, we were all surprised to find out exactly how many activities the PTA
raises money for. We thought it would be great to inform all parents exactly where the money
from membership fees, donations and fundraisers goes.

PTA funds originate from Membership Fees, fundraisers and donations. In years past our
membership numbers have been very low. We are hoping to increase membership numbers for
the 2010‐2011 School Year. The only required duty of a member is to attend one of the two
annual PTA Meetings at the school. Any Volunteers or Donations are greatly needed and
appreciated. Please let us know if you would be willing to help. We are trying to come up with a
few new, fresh fundraising ideas. Here are some ideas we have come up with. We would love to
have any and all feedback…..
#1‐ SCHOOL PRIDE RUBBER BRACELETSBracelets
will be available for purchase for $3.50. Students are encouraged to wear them with
“Mustang Pride” every Friday and will receive a prize.
#2 ‐ COOKBOOKS
We would love to compile a school Cookbook. We believe that it has been years since the school
has published one. We are hoping it will turn out to be a big success!
#3‐ Halloween Carnival –
Please let us know if you would like to see the Halloween Carnival again or if you would be open
to a Fall Festival instead.
#4 – Granny B’s Cookie Dough & Little Caesars Pizza Kits
#5‐ SCHOOL YEARBOOKS
We are looking at having books printed through blurb.com. The books would be 7x7 and no more
than 40 pages, Full Color. We are looking at keeping costs lower than $20.00 a book
