The school year is off to a fantastic start! It looks like everyone is reenergized and ready to go. The goal of the Ways & Means Committee is to create and implement a plan to raise the funds needed to support PTA and school programs. At our last meeting we looked for ways to ease the burden of fundraising for our TRES families. We had a lot of great new ideas, and we are very excited about several new fundraisers this year.

Currently we are selling “PANDA POWER” Spirit items to benefit our expanded club program. Car magnets & Water bottles will be available for purchase at upcoming school functions and PTA meetings. You can also order them off of the Sportswear order form. Another new item is a Twin Ridge Communication Note Pad. Use this bright pad to communicate with teachers and administration. The easy check off and fill in the blank system will save you time in the morning. Best of all it sticks to the fridge! To see a sample of the note pad check out the PTA website.

Please try to support the annual Fall Fundraiser. This year we are selling the Nations #1 premade cookie dough. There is nothing like warm cookies anytime you have a hankering!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Our Green Turtle Day is October 16th. Purchase lunch or dinner at our Mount Airy Green Turtle restaurant on that day and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to our PTA. More upcoming fundraising events:

  1. Box Tops Contest
  2. Silent Auction
  3. NEW Cookbook!
We are always looking for new fundraising ideas. Please email any fundraising ideas to talbano@trespta.org. Volunteers are needed to help sell our Panda Power items at upcoming school meetings and events. Please email Trish if you can help.

Thanks for your support!
