Order your food from Market Day and cut your

main dishes to dessert, Market Day has a great
variety of foods to fit most every menu. Take
and look and take a break!
Order forms are
sent home with students K-8 each month. Orders
can also be placed online until the Monday prior
to the pick-up date. For more information, visit
the Market Day website at www.marketday.com

The food is
excellent quality, the prices fair and the PTO
receives a portion of the proceeds for our
schools. Give it a try - you won't be
disappointed. Market Day is a national
organization that offers a way to purchase high
quality food items while providing our schools
with a substantial profit.

How
can You Help?
The
PTO benefits from any time that you
donate. Everyone is welcome to attend
our monthly meetings or help with the various
activities. If each parent donated just
one hour of their time each school year, the
benefits to our school district would be
phenomenal. If a donation of time is out
of the question, please help us by supporting
our fundraisers throughout the school
year. Thank you!
