| PTA Fundraiser |
Hi parents,
It is time for our first PTA fundraiser. We will be selling MyParentReward cards, which are discount cards that you register online for coupons
and discounts for thousands of stores and items all over the U.S. and Canada (even groceries!). We will receive $8.00 for every card sold and the
money will be used for Grayson Elementary's Media Center and for teacher supplies. This card will pay for itself almost immediately, AND...Just in
time for holiday shopping!!!
Look for the sales package and information in your child's Friday Folder on October 30!! And remember, No Door-to-Door sales as safety comes
first.
Thanks for your support in advance,
Grayson PTA Fundraising

Campbell's Soup & Tyson Chicken
Thank you to the families for sending in your labels!
Great news! Jada Edwards has volunteered to help with the Campbell's Soup and Tyson Chicken Label programs for Grayson Elementary. Keep saving both
labels and send them in with your student. Every label counts! Here's a great easy tip from Jada for all our Grayson families! Thank you Jada!
I found a great way for Grayson Elementary to earn lots of extra Campbell's labels for education! If parents can take a minute, they can log on to
www.elabelsforeducation.com, and punch in their Kroger Plus card number.
After signing up, anytime they purchase Campbell's or Pepperidge Farm products,etc. at Kroger, bonus points will go directly to Grayson Elementary!!
They also get 100 points just for signing up! If just a handful of parents were willing to do this, the points can add up pretty quickly!

Thank You P.E. Volunteers
1st ever Gymnastics Unit was a Success!
I would like to send a very special THANK YOU to all of the "Parents" who volunteered during our 1st ever Gymnastics Unit here at Grayson ES.
A huge THANK YOU goes out to: Howard Ethridge (Che), Rebecca Parrott (Natalie, Emily), Heidi Messer ( Rebecca, Emilae, Keeghan), Kristi Rhine
(Sidney Lyn), Michelle Thornton (DeJanae), Evie Harris (Anna Brooke), Joshua Dickerson (Gavin)and Brandi Goodbar (Kolton). Without these volunteers
that helped out with our Kindergarten, our little ones would not have had the opportunity to take part in this awesome unit. This unit was a success
to your dedication to GES and would not have been possible without your support. THANK YOU AGAIN and AGAIN!
