TWO IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
(1) The DEADLINE to register for SSKY Enrichment Spring Classes is next Friday December 16. If your child has never tried one, check out the more than 25 classes we offer, from Basketball to Jewelry Making to YouTube for Kids to Math!! Go to sskypto.com and click on the ENRICHMENT CATALOG. The classes are offered before and after school; they are inexpensive additions to your child's curriculum and are taught by SSKY teachers. Classes begin in mid-January 2012.
(2) FREE MONEY FOR SSKY
The SSKYPTO doesn't want to ask parents for money. But we LOVE free cash! If you are holiday shopping, you have two ways to send part of what you spend back to your child's school! In the past year, the PTO has purchased computers, software, math manipulatives for kindergarten, hundreds of books for the library and classrooms, and more.
These two sources of FREE MONEY come at no risk to you! (Yes, really.) Times are tough and merchants are looking at ways to lure parents to spend money ... so they're offering some great incentives ... "paybacks" to schools.
#1. SHOP AT AMAZON.COM through the Sonoran Sky PTO Website.
Remember, if you shop at AMAZON, access it through the Sonoran Sky PTO website. Go to sskypto.com and then click on the AMAZON button. It's the SAME AMAZON PAGE you always get, and you do not need to enter any new information!! We get 4-6% back on everything you buy. (NOTE: you need to go to sskypto.com every time.)
#2. Register on eScrip.
Do you shop ONLINE at the Gap, babyGap, Old Navy, Macy's, Nordstrom, Amazon, the Apple Store, Pottery Barn Kids, Barnes & Noble, BestBuy, 1-800-FLOWERS, Godiva, Omaha Steaks, Toys R Us, Shutterfly, REI, Home Depot, Office Depot, VistaPrint?
Do you stay at Marriott Hotels or fly American Airlines?
Let's say you are doing some holiday shopping in your pajamas. You buy Aunt Bess two books at Barnes and Noble (they donate 3.6% of your purchase to SSKY) ... you buy sister Sue a sweater at Nordstrom's (you really like your sister ... that's 7.2%) ... you buy your hard-to-buy-for father-in-law a new fleece vest at REI (3%) ... you buy two adorable outfits for your new nephew at babyGap (he's terrifically cute ... really ... 4.2%). Then you take the photograph of your children and send it to Shutterfly (10.8%) for your holiday cards. By registering at eScrip, you have just put $20 in the Sonoran Sky PTO Account, and you are STILL in your pajamas!
$20 x 400 families = $8000 of FREE MONEY to Sonoran Sky! That's 25 Googlechrome Computers ... or a huge piece of playground equipment ... or thousands of books ...
