Christa McAuliffe Middle School PTSA

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!!!

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!!

PTSA’s Fall Box Tops for Education contest is now underway!  Help CMMS earn cash for our school by clipping 10¢ Box Tops from hundreds of products.  For those who like to shop online, there are now more than 300 online retailers so you can earn eBoxTops® for CMMS when you shop.  Parents need to sign on to:  http://www.boxtops4education.com/all-about-boxtops.  Select the “earn online” option at the top and follow the prompts.  Our zip code is 33472, select our school (CMMS) and again follow the prompts.  It’s that easy…  

The 1st period class with the most eligible Box Tops turned in by Tuesday, October 15th, will earn a Dunkin Donuts party and the teacher will also receive a $20 Cinemark Movie gift certificate.  Place your Box Tops in a Ziploc bag marked with your student’s 1st period teacher & PTSA.  All Box Tops expiration date must be visible.  Expired Box Tops will be disqualified. Bonus Box Tops will be accepted as face value.  For additional information about the Box Tops For Education program please visit the website referenced above.

A special “thank you” to Suzanne Nicolini for overseeing our Box Tops For Education campaign this school year!!
