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.
This year we are raising money by
publishing
and selling a school directory, organizing a book sale of the summer
reading
books, and, we hope (depending on school renovations), selling
commemorative
bricks. We have signed on with the Funding
Factory Cartridge and Cell Phone Recycling Programs and
ask that you donate your old cell phones and empty laser and inkjet
printer
cartridges simply by placing them in the collection boxes situated in
the
the Grimsley Counseling Office. Grimsley
families and
friends are also being asked to register their Harris Teeter VIC
cards so that one (or up to five) of the
Grimsley
organizations listed below will receive a rebate on purchases.
We are also sponsoring Chick-fil-A
Grimsley Spirit Nights on the third
Thursday
of each month. Chick-fil-A allows us to receive a rebate on orders
placed
at the Friendly Center location between 4:00 pm and 8:00
pm.
Remember to mention Grimsley when you place your order. If
you have ideas for additional projects, please e-mail us at ghsptsa@yahoo.com.
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.
