The bears have arrived

Your Student is coming home today with our Great American Fund-raiser packet. Last year this fund-raiser earned over $6000 for our school. Not to mention the fun we have with all the bears!  Your child will be talking about earning the 'bling" bear and even blow up shoes...to earn this we need them to turn in the Reach Out booklet inside their fund-raiser packet by TOMORROW.  

Our fund-raiser closes September 17th. You can order from the catalog and even online at http://gaschoolstore.com/3267671   

So share this link with your family and friends everywhere!  

Each time your family sells something make sure to turn in a ticket from your packet so your child will earn their bears!
