Meeting - 10/8/09

The following items were discussed at the PTC meeting on Thursday, Oct 8, 2009
  • PureArt Fundraiser - 60% of all orders goes to the WCS Art Dept. Orders are due back 10/16/09. Although, we can accept late orders until 10/21/09.
  • Sally Foster Wrapping Paper Fundraiser - Catalogs will be sent home on 10/21/09. Sale runs until 11/13/09. Delivery on 12/11/09. This year, Sally Foster is not attaching parent letter so we will have a meeting on Tues, Oct 20 at 11am at WCS to assemble the packets.
  • We have set up a new volunteer site. Please go to the site and register. We will now use this site for scheduling volunteer activities to stop the large number of emails that become confusing. The new web address is http://woolwich.my-pta.org
  • This blog will still be the location of all announcements, information and updates. We will use the other simply as a scheduling tool.
  • Spooktacular Family Dance - Sarah S and Beth H will be heading up this event to take place on Oct 30th. We decided funds raised during that event will go towards new equipment for the playground at the Huse School for use next year, as there is only a couple of swings right now for recess activities.
  • Shop Til You Drop - Tracy S and Karen M will be heading up this event. Most likely scheduled during 11/29-12/9 during the bookfair dates so we can open the bookfair during the event. Tracy and Karen will be looking into do we want to change it to a day event on Saturday vs. evening event during the week.
  • Share Center - we voted to spend $227.17 on 1/2 of the dues for the Share Center for teacher supplies.

PureArt Cards Fundraiser

PureArt Fundraiser for WCS Art Department

Today, there is an folder in your child's backpack with an information letter, order form and your child's artwork for the PureArt Fundraiser for the Art Department. Students at Woolwich have created artwork for use in the fundraiser. PureArt will take your child's artwork and reproduce it onto different gift items. A variety of items, including Holiday Cards, Note Cards, Postcards, Checkbook Covers, Framed Prints and other items can be purchased with your child's artwork on it. The Woolwich Art Department will receive 60% of the total sales. If interested, you can go to www.zazandmoe.com/PureArtCards.html to see what the products look like. If your child has finished more than one piece of artwork, you can order items using different artwork on each item. Make sure to fill in the description column on the order form. Make checks payable to Woolwich PTC. All orders must be in no later than Oct 16th (next Friday). PureArt is a Maine company and we are excited to be able to offer a fundraiser and support a local company. If you are placing an order, please make sure to send back the folder, plastic sleeve, your child's artwork, order form, and payment. In an effort to recycle, if you are not ordering, please send back the folder and plastic sleeve as these can both be reused. Thank you for your support!
