As of right now - we have sold $50,000 worth of trashbags. We will sell trashbags and shirts at Spring Conferences. Pick up dates for trashbags will be October 8th and 9th at the GOLD FAIR BUILDING! There will be an assembly in October 8th to announce the trashbag Top 10. Inman will be at 8:45 and Washington at 9:15. Every student that sold trashbags will get a prize.

We will be having a Box Top competition running from September 27th - October 15th.

Altrusa wants to do something with Sunny D! The gallon size labels - if we collect 20 labels = 10 books. Please drink and save Sunny D labels and turn them into teachers or to the schools.

Food for conferences will be September 27th. We will be doing Soups and Bars. If you would like to help with this - please contact Christy Bennett. The schools will be doing the clean up after conferences so please take your things in either disposable containers or label your container with your name very clearly.

PTO will continue to bur books for each student at the book fair.
