PARAGON FUNDRAISER

Hi Parents and Students,

The Paragon Fundraising catalogs should have come home with your wonderful middle school student on Friday. There are two catalogs and two order forms along with a Manila envelope to collect the money. The money we raise from this fundraiser will cover the cost to support the PTSA programs and to purchase the Mini-Laptops for the students. Last year we were about to give $11,600 towards the renovation of the bathrooms, printers, computers, PTSA programs and classroom needs. What a great feeling that is to know the bathrooms are done - the kids have current technology and we are contributing towards more of it!

This has been a fabulous fund raiser for us in the past and we hope that each of you will support the PTSA this year by letting your student approach you for a sale or a grandma or grandpa, and so on.

There are prizes for making various sales amounts. The number to reach that prize is the number of items, no persons! So if one person orders 6 things - then the student gets to participate in the "Pen Prize" ... 15 for the "Soda and Money Scramble", and so on. There should be a green piece of paper in your students packet outlining the prizes.

There are some that prefer to donate to the cause instead of purchasing items - that's great! For every sale we make 40% for every donation we make 100%. So if you were going to spend $20 for Paragon but didn't see anything that you "had to have" please know we accept donations.

The Paragon Fund raiser will continue until October 7 - at which point ORDERS and MONEY are due back to the school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Beth Sherer at 228-6112.
Thanks again for your support!

GO MUSTANGS!
