 Fundraising
The Grimsley PTSA focuses on service
rather than
fundraising--but the unfortunate reality is that many of our activities
require money. Rather than asking the students or parents to sell
magazine subscriptions, tulip bulbs, pizza kits, wrapping paper, or any
of the other dozens of products you have undoubtedly purchased from
pleading
students over the years, our PTSA relies on funding from donations (see
Membership)
and fundraising activities rather than selling products to
neighbors.
Our fundraising activities often not only raise money for our school,
but
they also provide a wonderful means for parents to get to know one
another.
In the past we have had casino nights, ushered at the coliseum, and
parked
cars at the GGCC.
During the 2008-2009 school
year we will continue our school-wide fundraiser – The
Grimsley PTSA Donation Campaign. This year’s focus will be funding technology
needs across all departments serving all students at GHS. In any
economy, it is always important to support education so we know we have
done our best to provide a quality education for our entire community.
Ultimately all of us – and the economy – benefit from our efforts.
Thank you for your continued support of all
students attending Grimsley High School. We value our tradition of excellence and
strive to meet the needs of our students as our world is changing at a
rapid pace! Our mission of the GHS PTSA is to serve and
support our students and to ensure our valued tradition of excellence
continues for
our entire GHS
community.
Your gift to Grimsley High School, in any
amount, makes a difference for our students. We must invest in technological innovation
for instruction.
We must foster
scientific and technological literacy. We must have the tools to prepare our youth
for their future – for our future. Our youth are worth our efforts! Our goal is to use your donations to meet the
needs of the Grimsley community which are not covered by our school
budget.
Our immediate goals:
º School Pad with flat screen tv to allow
teachers and students to use technology interactively
º Voting clickers to allow students to “vote”
for the correct answer (set of 32 so each student is interacting with
the teacher)
º The AP & IB science courses need data
collecting hardware (a requirement for those courses)
In acknowledgement of your contributions, we
will publish the names of our supporters in our bi-monthly PTSA
newsletter. We will also be happy to indicate donations
that are made in honor of a designee, at your request.
Many of your employers will match your
contributions to non-profit organizations. Please check with your personnel or human
resources department for details. We will be happy to complete any forms that
you may include with your donation for these purposes.
On behalf of the students and faculty
of Grimsley High School we thank you for your donation. Once again, our
youth are worth our efforts!
Harris Teeter VIC
Card Fundraising
Grimsley has several Together in
Education accounts
at Harris Teeter which help defray some of the many expenses of our
various
programs. If you have a Harris Teeter VIC card, all you have to
do
is give the cashier your card and ask her to link it to any of our
accounts,
with the maximum number of accounts being five. From the one time
you do this until the end of the school year, the organization(s) will
receive a 2% rebate on any Harris Teeter private label products that
you
purchase. If you participated in this program last year,
please
note that you need to sign up again. Please take just a
moment
to sign up--and ask your friends or relatives who shop in any Harris
Teeter
in NC, SC, VA, GA, or TN to sign up.
