it's not too late!  If you don't have your students information or proofs,
don't worry!  Call 1-800-298-7770 to speak to a representative, all you need
is the school and your student's last name.  The School Passcode is M8YF6Q

for month of March/April, $18 through May, and $20 in June.  Don't Delay,
get your orders in Today!  Checks are to be made payable to Whitman
Elementary.

 

March 26 - April 9, 2012 - Whitman PTA Spring Fundraiser - now that your
students are on break and if you are visiting family, this is a good time to
simply ask them if they can help with your child's school fundraiser.  The
monies from the Spring Fundraiser will help the Whitman PTA continue its
efforts to enhance the educational experience for the students at Whitman.
These monies are used to help pay for field trips, school-programs, and
provide low-cost family oriented events.  Your support is greatly
appreciated.
