Volunteers Needed

We are in search of volunteers for two low-impact PTA jobs:
Community Fundraising - manage accounts that contribute funds from Safeway, Giant, and Amazon. All accounts are already set up and job would include reporting progress of fundraising to PTA Board.
Restaurant Nights - Part of our fundraising efforts is partnering with local restaurants and receiving a portion of proceeds from dedicated nights. We are in need of one or more volunteers to help assist with coordinating and deciding on restaurants to partner with.
Please contact vp2@orangehuntpta.org for more information on these volunteer opportunities.

Box Tops
9/21/2017 6:44 pm
We are Girl Scout Troop 2090 and we are working with the PTA to collect Box Tops this year.
We are doing this because we want to help raise money for the school for fun activities and materials for students and teachers.
You can help by clipping Box Tops, making sure they’re not expired and sending them in a baggie with your teacher’s name on it. Please send them in by October 20th.
If each student sends in just about 30 Box Tops we will make our goal of $3000! The 3 classes with the most Box Tops collected get to have a pizza party!
Thank you for your support and remember to keep saving them for the spring contest!
