Helen Keller PTA Fundraising Efforts.
Helen Keller PTA has a number of ways that we make
money during the school year.
1: We have TWO MAJOR Fundraisers during the school
year.
2: We collect money from things that you do anyway
.... however, for this to work, you just have to
make a little effort to register with the company
.... they do the rest .... we get the money, it
couldn't be simpler!
Note regarding the FREE MONEY Programs
Corporate Matching Funds
First of all, a very big thank you! We
appreciate that you took the time to sign up for
these programs. Last year we noticed a drop in
the revenue we made from these companies. We
think it may be due to the fact that Credit/Debit
card numbers have changed and these details have not
been changed with the companies. We would appreciate
it, if you could double check the details of these
accounts to make sure you are still registered.
Don't forget to tell
your friends and family members about these
programs. It's little effort, but makes such a
difference.
Believe Kids
sales run in the fall. Their catalogues have
wonderful items for your own personal use or to give
as gifts! (Start spreading out that seasonal
spending now!) Magazines, wrapping paper,
cookie dough and gift items. The PTA receives
approximately 50% of these profits.
Auction
- New in the 2008 - 2009 school year! Yes the
auction was an amazing success - Thank you Deanna
Crowe, and everyone who helped you pull this great
event together. The setting was incredible,
the food beautiful and the atmosphere electric.

Education Program is simple. Just Visit
Target.com or call 1-800-316-6142 and
designate Helen Keller Elementary (School ID Number:
105795).
Box
Tops for Education - please cut the Box Top for
education coupons from the many
household items you may already use,
print
this page, attach the box tops and turn them
into the school office. We receive 10 cents
for each coupon. That is $2.50 for every
filled page! These typically add up to a few hundred
dollars a year - and every penny counts! If two
sheets per year were filled for every child
attending Helen Keller, this would amount to over
$1700! Food for thought! This program supports
K8 grades. So get anyone you know, with no children in
these grades, involved and supporting Helen Keller!
Computer Ink Jet Cartridges - please place them in a
baggie and bring them to the school office!
The Helen Keller PTA appreciates your
support of our Fundraising Efforts.
This money supports programs that the Lake
Washington School District does not fund, such as
field trips, Homework Club and Library .... just to
name a few!
