Dining Out /Shopping Nights Fundraisers

Another way the PTA does fundraising is to have Dining out or shopping nights.  We partner with a local retailer and they give us a certain percentage of the busines done that night!

Our Next Shopping Fundraiser is at Five Below. Print out the flyer and and hand it out to friends and family to use for purchases made onSaturday, Oct. 17th between the hours of 11:00 - 7:00. Five Below will donate 10% of the purchases made that use the flyer. 

Five Below has great Halloween items as well as many fun items for the family.  It isn't too early to start thinking about shopping for the Holidays......

Direct Appeal:

Dear Parents,
Each year the Barnsley PTA strives to provide quality activities for our children to enhance their school experience. To achieve this objective, we rely on the generosity of our families through a variety of fundraisers including Sally Foster, Scholastic Book Fairs and our Holiday Boutique. While these events are lots of fun for our children and families, the PTA understands that these don't always meet the needs or interests of some families.
Do any of these sound familiar?
• You have decided to limit the amount of "things" you bring into your home this year.
• You already purchased items from a niece, nephew or family friend to support his or her school or club.
• You're uncomfortable with your children asking family and friends to buy extra items.
• You want the school to receive all the money that is raised by the students, rather than a portion of the proceeds.
If so, we would like you to know that you now have another choice for contributing to the PTA.
You can make a one-time, tax-deductible gift to the Barnsley PTA. Your contribution will help provide the necessary funds that enable us to offer the outstanding educational, cultural and social events and opportunities that enhance our children's learning experience. And keep in mind that 100 percent of your contribution goes directly to the PTA – and ultimately our children. If this appeals to you, simply send a check to school with your child in an envelope marked PTA Donation. While we will continue to offer several fundraising events during the school year, you do not need to feel obligated to participate.
We appreciate your continued support and encourage you to consider becoming involved in the wonderful volunteer opportunities available. By working together, we help to further the initiatives of Barnsley Elementary and enable our children to achieve their goals. We look forward to another fabulous year!
Sincerely,
The Lucy V. Barnsley PTA
