The John Weldon Elementary PTO Fall Opt-Out “Fundraiser”
We are entering the final week of John Weldon’s Fall Opt-Out Fundraiser with donations from 9% of our families. A big THANK YOU to all who have already given!
Our goal is to have 100% of our families support the PTO. We only have three days to go! To reach our goal, we are asking for everyone’s support. As always, from your direct donation, YOUR child and OUR school will receive 100% of the benefits.
We’d like to challenge everyone who hasn’t yet made a donation to imagine that your child is selling cookie dough for a school fundraiser. How many tubs of cookie dough would you buy? The average cookie dough tub costs $15. The school would only get about $5 from that sale.
The John Weldon PTO opted to avoid “traditional fundraising” this fall to save families from selling things and having the school only get a portion of those sales. We found that families prefer to give money directly to the school. If everyone who hasn’t yet made a contribution would donate $15, we could raise an additional $7,890!!
Please make a donation today. We have two ways to give:
Fourth grade is in the lead!! Remember- the GRADE LEVEL with the most money earned will choose between a Glow in the Dark Dance Party or a free recess.
Donation drive ends Thursday, October 10th!
Thank you, families and friends, for your financial support. We appreciate all you do to make John Weldon an outstanding school for your student and our community.

FHSD USES PEACHJAR FOR ELECTRONIC FLYER DELIVERY
Francis Howell School District (FHSD) delivers school information and approved flyers from community organizations electronically. These school-approved eflyers are emailed directly to you. Additionally, you can view eflyers by clicking the Peachjar button on your school’s website homepage. This “green” initiative saves our schools tons of paper and reduces copy costs by thousands of dollars. On top of that, posting school flyers in this electronic backpack removes a significant administrative burden from teachers, office staff, and volunteers. If we have your email address on file, then no action is required on your part. If your child has moved to a new school in the district, you will receive eflyers from the new school. If you have not provided your email address, please do so to avoid missing important information. You may also register to receive these messages on www.peachjar.com. To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest you add “school@peachjar.com” to your email contacts. When you receive your first eflyer, be sure to click “always display images.” This system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved flyers. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose. Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure parents are well-informed about school programs, activities, and events |
