ENJOY THE CITY COUPON BOOK FUNDRAISER

This week we will announce the Enjoy the City Coupon Book top 5 sellers and those students who sold 10+ books!!  Every single book sold helps CMMS and we thank you for your support.  **NOTE** If your student still has not returned their unsold Enjoy the City Coupon Book to their teacher, it’s not too late.  Unfortunately any coupon books not returned will be marked on the student’s “obligations” list.  All unsold coupon books need to be returned to the vendor or else that money comes directly out of our pocket :(  So please, take a moment to make sure all unsold books have been returned to the school.  Thanks for your cooperation!!

Back-to-School Bash (Dance)

The CMMS Back-to-School Bash went off without a hitch on Friday night!!  Almost 275 students enjoyed an evening filled with excellent music, good friends and great memories.  And the snacks, pizza & drinks weren’t too shabby either!!  Congratulations to Erin Juhl (8th Grade) who won the World’s Largest Gummy Bear raffle.  Hopefully, she’s a good brusher :)   The PTSA Board would like to thank the Mr. Silverman and his administrative team, teachers, staff, parents and student volunteers who pitched in to help.  We couldn’t have done it without all of you…  A very special “shout out” to the CMMS custodial team who whipped the cafeteria back into shape in no time at all…Thank You!

Our Costume Ball, Halloween Bash, is coming up on Friday, October 25th from 6-8 pm.  Details coming soon…get ready to get your ghoul on!!!IMG_2162 IMG_2158

Target’s Take Charge of Education Program

Calling all Target shoppers…
Did you know that CMMS is involved in the Take Charge of Education program with Target Red Card???  As your new PTSA Board, this was brought to our attention by our Box Tops guru, Suzanne Nicolini.
Basically, anyone with the Target Red Card can sign up for their school to get 1% of their purchase totals.   To date, CMMS has earned $11,442.42 through 2013.  That amount earned is only having 39 parents registered on the site.  Parents need to sign onto the Target Red Card site and go to the Take Charge of Education link.  Please make sure your Target Red Card is registered with Christa McAuliffe Middle School (our school ID # is 41724).   Except for a few minutes of your time, it costs our parents nothing to register!!  CMMS automatically gets the money every time our parents use their Target Red Card.   All fundraising should be this simple!!
This is a wonderful, quick & easy fundraiser for CMMS.   With the holidays just around the corner, CMMS would receive quite a bit money in a short amount of time.  If you have a Target Red Card, please consider registering it and help out our school!  Your support is always appreciated!!
