Pennies For Postage

PENNIES FOR POSTAGE

October 22, 2012 to November 2, 2012

Help the PTA with Rally for Recess (www.rallyforrecess) by sending in your loose change or bills with your student.  The classes will compete against each other to win an extra PE class with Mr. Jackson. 

We have thousands of cards ready to mail.  We need your help with postage costs. Our school is in the top 15 to win a New PLAYGROUND by Dannon Rally for Recess! 

The students drop their donations in the jug labeled for their class.  The jugs will be located in the lobby.  The jug that weighs the most will be the winner.  Current weights will be posted to see how each class is doing.  The winning class will be announced 11/2/12.

Larger tax deductible donations can be made out to

We can be one of those 5 schools to win this year! The videos from last year’s winners are inspiring and provide support for why we should want to win! Check them out on www.rallyforrecess.com.
