Just a few days left!


The RIS PTO Fundraiser for this school year ends next Wednesday. Please continue to sell over this long weekend, but don't forget to send in those packets by Wednesday. Information about the Club’s Choice sale, and about the individual and classroom incentives the company offers, was included in the packet, but if you have any questions, you can email rocketpto@gmail.com. Remember, online orders are encouraged – let your faraway friends and family know! Club’s Choice offers free shipping for online orders over $60. Good luck and thank you all!

Donations instead of product sales are welcome. Incentives are available for that, too! See below for the incentives for that.

The RIS PTO Fundraiser Has Kicked Off!!

Fundraiser Info:Yesterday we got a  head-start on the RIS PTO Fundraiser for 2012. Students brought their Club’s Choice fundraising packets home and can start selling ASAP! Please join the PTO as we raise money to support many fun and educational activities and extras throughout the year, including that nice playground in the RIS backyard. All the info you need about the Club’s Choice sale, and about the individual and classroom incentives the company offers, is included in the packet. Online orders are encouraged – let your faraway friends and family know! Online, there are different catalogs to choose from, and Club’s Choice offers free shipping for online orders over $60. Good luck selling!

RIS PTO Fundraiser Opt-Out Update: If selling is not your thing, the RIS PTO will happily accept your donations in lieu of selling products. We've even come up with an incentive plan for those who choose to donate. First, we'll tally up all the the cash and check donations. Then ...
  • If we reach the goal of $1000 total in donations, we'll draw from all donors for two $25 Scholastic Book Fair Gift Certificates. 
  • If we reach the goal of $2500 in donations, we'll add a $100 Target gift card to the drawing 
  • If we reach the goal of $5000 in donations, we'll add an iPod Touch to the drawing.
For every $20 donated, your student will get an entry in the drawing. Because the fundraiser company provides the incentives to sellers, donors aren't eligible for those incentives. But, if you want to both sell and donate, you qualify for both sets of incentives. Please send your donations in the white fundraiser envelopes so we can keep things organized. Thanks, from the PTO!

Seriously...


At the RIS PTO, we take our volunteers VERY seriously. However, we do not take our Volunteer Opportunity Sign-Up Questionnaire seriously, at all. To be the first to find out just how serious we are about not being serious, click here:

But seriously, if you click on that link, we hope you'll click away and join us for some of the fun we're planning for the 2012-2013 school year!
