2008-2009 PTSA Fundraisers
This school year, Blackwell PTSA will spend
just over $35,000 to fund programs and
purchase equipment that the school’s budget
alone does not support. Your financial
contribution makes many of the things we’ve
come to expect and enjoy at Blackwell
possible. Visit
Pass the Hat page for all the
fundraising details.
eScrip—shop
your favorite stores & raise money for
Blackwell!
eScrip is
an easy way for schools to raise funds through
everyday purchases made at
eScrip
merchants.
eScrip
works with local and national retailers to
contribute a percentage of your purchases to
Blackwell Elementary. You shop the way you
always do for groceries, school supplies,
clothing, travel--even dinner out! The merchant
then donates a percentage of your purchases to
the Blackwell PTSA.

No pressure! Don’t worry!
We recognize the fact that families are busy
and the thought of neighborhood sales can be
daunting.
However, since so many of our Blackwell
families already purchase/use these great
products, we’ve decided to make them
available within our own fundraising
program.
How will this sale work? Just look for
samples on display at the upcoming
Curriculum Nights and Spaghetti Feed. Keep
your eye out for more information to soon be
posted to Parent Organizer.
