Spirit Wear and Fundraising Christa Jones and Robyn Shapiro - VP, Ways and Means The money that we raise goes to fund the programs of the Brentfield PTA, including Arts in Education, campus beautification, extra-curricular programs, the school libraries, parent-education programs, technology and the Outdoor Classroom.  Last year, we raised over $30,000! Ready, Set, Fundraise!! We are introducing a new coupon book to Brentfield this year, Enjoy the City, which will be coming home with your child today.  Be sure and take a look inside the book to see the great deals - all right here in the Dallas area.  You’ll see right in the front there are coupons for $60 off at Tom Thumb!!  You have until September 12 to sell them and the cost is $20.  Brentfield receives 50% profit for each book sold.  In addition to the prizes earned through Enjoy the City, again this year Brentfield is proudly offering our own unique and exciting prizes: Sell 2 books and be put in a drawing for Ipods, a digital camera and other exciting prizes!! Be the top seller in each building and earn a special lunch with Mr. Lemons or Ms. Kelly!! Sally Foster Around the Corner! Our other fall fundraiser, Sally Foster Gift-wrap & Gourmet Chocolates, is coming September 17th.  We chose Sally Foster for its great value and quality, and we’ll receive 50% profit for our school.  Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 that will go towards funding our PTA programs.  In the next couple of weeks, your all-in-one Sally Foster catalog should be coming home with your child.  Check out their website: www.SallyFoster.com.

Box Tops for Education - When was the last time your child ate some cereal or a fruit roll up? There’s money attached to those boxes, just waiting to be deposited into your PTA Bank Account.
