Silent Auction & Book Fair

2011-01-26T09:53:00.001-08:00

Please come and support our Silent Auction and Book Fair during SEP week. During SEP’s the PTA is going to have a silent auction. Each class will be given a theme and is responsible to make up a basket fitting the theme given to them. During SEP’s each class basket will be on display. You are invited to bid on them.

Please have your children bring donated items to their classroom Wednesday, January 19^th through Thursday, January 27^th.

All donated items need to be new. We also welcome services from those parents that may have businesses/services to offer. (Ex. A free haircut/free oil change, make-up, candles, etc.) We will find an appropriate basket to put your donated items in, even if they may not fit the theme of your child’s class. Though the PTA will provide a simple basket or container, we welcome any creative containers to put the items in. (Example-cookie sheet for baking, tackle box for sports, cooler for outdoors, etc.)

Class themes are:

Egbert AM- Gardening (Examples: hand tools, gardening gloves, seeds, etc.)

Egbert PM-Bath & Body (Examples: Lotions, Spa gift certificate, bubble bath, etc.)

Scow AM-Couch Potato (Examples: movies, puzzles, books, massage gift certificate)

Funds raised by the PTA help support such things as the AR program, Bear Cub Store, Field Trips, Field Day, Teacher Appreciation Week, etc. etc. Though we understand not everyone may be in a position to bid on and purchase a basket, we encourage all to participate by making a minimal contribution/donation to the class basket. We would like each completed basket to have a starting bid value of $25. This breaks down into a fairly small donation from each family. Please support us in this fundraiser.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any member of the PTA.

Smiths Reward Card

2010-08-06T16:35:00.001-07:00

Parents, please tell grandparents, aunts, uncles and community members to link their Fresh Values card (from Smiths Marketplace) to West Bountiful Elementary. Last school year the PTA earned $1006.00 from only 44 linked cards.

We can do much better.

This is an easy, no hassle way to earn money for our school. Simply by linking your card to our school, the PTA can earn money that will help towards the Bear Cub Store, field trips, our AR program, Red Ribbon week, etc.

Please, please link your cards. You can find the link here. Follow the instructions to begin an account (all you need is an email account and your fresh values card number). After your account is set up, one of your options will be to enroll your card in the 'Earn and Learn Program'. You can also do it in any Smiths store.

Really, it is very easy money for our school. And the more we can get this way, the less we have to bother you with fundraisers, etc.

Please let your family members know. Any Smiths store from Logan to St. George is able to donate to our school! Pass the word along.

Thanks as always for your support of the West Bountiful Elementary PTA.

Thank you to all the students and parents who participated in our fall fundraiser. You did awesome! You earned over 5000 dollars for your school! The money will go towards all the excellent programs we have at West Bountiful Elementary and will help meet the needs of the teachers in their classrooms.

The top sellers were Shawn Stucki from Mrs. Earnshaw's class and Austin Stucki from Mr. Edward's class. Their orders totaled 432.25! Way to go guys! They will receive 50.00 in cash for being the top sellers.

The top sellers for each class are as follows:

They will receive their prize in class on Wednesday Nov. 4th.

We had two classroom winners this year. Mrs. Earnshaw's class sold 1411.25 in product and Mrs. Smiths (AM) class sold 1410.65 in product! Awesome job everyone! They will get the pizza or icecream parties!

We appreciate everyone who either sold product or donated money to our school. All students that sold or donated will receive a bear cub award and a small treat in class on Wednesday Nov. 4th. Thank you for your support of our great school!

Some students picked up their wrapping paper orders today November 3rd. Any remaining wrapping paper orders can be picked up in the gym before school on Wednesday, November 4th from 8:30-8:45 and after school from 3:25-4:00. The Lehi Roller Mills orders will be in next week and I will post which day to pick it up as soon as possible.

We as your 2009-2010 PTA Board are trying something new... A School Blog.

In the PTA Parent survey sent home last Spring, we had many parents tell us they "didn't know" or "weren't informed" about particular events, activities, projects, etc. One parent said, "You can never tell us too many times." We would like this blog to fill that need...

Feel free to leave comments to let us know how and what we can do to serve you better. We invite you to set this page on your 'favorites setting' and visit us often.

Thank you.
