Welcome Back!
If your class is having a fundraiser and would like to list it on the Mothers' Club website, please forward it to me at katbrooks678@att.net and I would be glad to post it. Please read below for a fundraiser that the class of 2015 is holding.
One of the moms of the Class of 2015 was listening to Fox 2 one day and heard about Buffalo Wild Wings hosting a “Spirit Bracket Challenge”, like the March Madness college basketball bracket, where 16 schools would be chosen and compete against one another showing school spirit and enjoying Buffalo Wild Wings at the same time! Schools were to submit essays to Fox 2 on why they should be selected for the Spirit Bracket Challenge, and we won one of the 16 spots! See http://www.fox2now.com/community/contests/bww-spirit-bracket-challenge/ for more information.
On Wednesday, February 1, from 11am-10pm, be a guest at Buffalo Wild Wings , 1244 South Kirkwood Road, Kirkwood, MO and present the attached coupon. Ten percent of your food sales will go toward Affton’s chance of winning big money for the four high school classes, which all goes back to the kids! If we raise the most money in our head-to-head competition on February 1 (with St. Justin Martyr), we will advance in the bracket. We will keep advancing in the bracket competition as long as we raise the most money each night of participation. We keep all funds raised after each bracket challenge, plus a $2,500 grand prize from Buffalo Wild Wings if we are the final school standing!
Go to the Kirkwood Buffalo Wild Wings, show your Affton purple and gold spirit, enjoy some great food, and bring home the money!!
It's also time to start getting ready for the Flea Market on March 3rd. Last year's flea market was a big success and we would like to see it grow this year. So please, pass on the information to anyone you know that would be interested. The information can be found in the Flea Market tab of our website. If you would like to help with the Flea Market please make sure to contact anyone on the Board. We still need A LOT of help!!
Market Day orders are due by January 13th with pickup January 24th. Be sure to check out Market Day for yummy items that help support our schools . They come home in your child's Friday packet each month. Make sure to turn them in to your child's teacher or go to the ongoing fundraiser's tab at the top of this page and click on the Market Day link. It will take you directly to the web site. If you create an on-line account you will receive coupon offers in your e-mail. Plus, you will have a few extra days to get your order in. It makes ordering really easy. Pick-up is from 6:30-7:45pm in the Gotsch cafeteria. We need people to help unload the trucks and pack the orders. It doesn't take very long when we have lot's of hands. If you would like to help, please come to the cafeteria at Gotsch around 5:30pm. And thank you to everyone who places orders each month. We can't tell you how much we appreciate you! And please be sure to pass the information along to your friends and family.
Continue collecting and sending in your BOX TOPS.
We have a few committees that still need help and co-chairs, so if you would like to volunteer please contact Sarah at 481-2913.
Have you signed up for your E-Scrip card at Schnucks yet? I did and I was able to go onto the e-scrip website and look up my sales contributions. Just by doing my regular grocery shopping and giving the cashier my card at checkout, my contribution to MC during the month of August was $30.33. Can you believe it! I didn't have to do anything but sign up originally and then hand them my card when I check out. So easy and it really adds up. Just think, if one family can contribute $30 in one month, how much money would that be if every family who shops at Schnucks had an e-scrip card? You do the math! We could really provide for our schools with very little effort. So please, go the the On Going Fundraisers tab and follow the link to the e-scrip web site and sign up online today! It really is that easy and it's free money that we can use for our kids.
There are many ways to help even if you just don't have any more time to give. Please go to OnGoing Fundraiser's or Volunteer Opportunities to find out what you can do to help our Schools. Or call any of the Board members and they will be glad to find a place for you.
If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to call ANYONE on the Board. We really can't do it without you!
