Buffalo Trail PTCO
News From the Herd April 25th, 2016
TEACHER APPRECIATION DONATIONS NEEDED:
DATE EXTENDED!!
Teachers at Buffalo Trail give their best each and every day for our children and now it is time to say THANK YOU! Buffalo Trail’s Teacher Appreciation Event is on Friday, May 8, 2016.​This event is organized by the Buffalo Trail Parent Teacher Community Organization (PTCO) in order to recognize and thank our teachers for all of their hard work and dedication during the school year. The PTCO hosts a breakfast and auction where teachers can spend the “Speidicents”
(named for our principal, Tamara Speidel) they have earned over the course of the school year. Our deadline passed for Teacher Appreciation items and we did not have enough items received for even half of our teachers. ​We have extended the deadline to donate to May 5th. ​Please consider donating if you are able!
Here are some of the items that we still need:  Sign up and Gift Ideas
Participation is easy.  Fill out the attached form and indicate the exact name and retail value of your donation.  We will use this information for advanced promotion and to credit you as a sponsor.  Thank you for your help! If you have any questions please contact Katie McCormick at kmccormick456@gmail.com

Earning 4 Learning
LAST CALL FOR EARNING 4 LEARNING AND BOX TOPS!

If you have Box Tops for Education or Earning for Learning receipts, please turn them in by April 30th.  These programs are great because they help our school earn money by simply collecting receipts and box tops from things you already buy.  We are currently sitting in second place in Southlands’ E4L program.  Your receipts can help us win!
