NEWS FROM THE PTA<br />

Manna Fundraiser<br />
<strong>December</strong>’s Manna order is due Friday the 3rd. This is your last chance to get gift cards before<br />
the holidays. Pay for your holiday dinner with gift cards from Jewel or Dominick’s at no extra<br />
cost to you. You get a gift card for face value and the PTA makes a profit. Pay for your<br />
holiday shopping with cards for Toys R Us, Kohl’s, Game Stop, iTunes, and Build-A-Bear and<br />
many more. For fun family time over the holidays treat them to a movie with a Regal or AMC<br />
card, or go bowling with a card from the Brunswick Zone. Don’t forget that along with the<br />
holidays you can fill up with gas with a gas station card from our list. And lastly, remember cold<br />
and flu season comes too and we’ve got CVS and Walgreen’s cards available.<br />
Gift cards also make great holiday gifts for employees. If your company gives out gift cards,<br />
ask them if they could buy them through us. I did, and I got an order of over $3200 of gift<br />
cards! Holiday cards will be back Friday <strong>December</strong> 10.<br />
Gift cards will be returned on the following Friday in backpack mail when you mark the box on<br />
the form. If you prefer, they can be picked up at Jen Phelan’s house on Thursday from 3:45pm<br />
-6:30pm or by special arrangement.<br />
Return completed orders by 3:30pm on<br />
this date to school with your payment<br />
