Let’s show that we have CHARACTER
and that we CARE at Fairview School
Have a and help those less fortunate than us.
The holidays have come to an end and the coldest days of winter
are upon us. We’ve all enjoyed awesome times with family and
friends in our warm homes. However, there are some in our
community who don’t have a cozy home, good food or warm clothing
during these winter days. We can help those in need with a small
token of kindness by donating hats and gloves for the homeless.
All donations will be distributed to
PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter).
Please bring in your donations during the week of January 12th and
place in the box located in the foyer. Please include both men’s &
women’s hats and gloves.
This event is being organized by the Fairview PTA.
Thank you for your support!

Keep collecting those Box Tops. We have already earned $1750 for the school this year! A big part of that is thanks to our local WalMart store. They donated $1,000 of Box Tops to Fairview School. How generous of them!
This year we are asking for you and your children to attach your box tops to the next page with tape. This will save our volunteers a lot of time!
IT IS THIS EASY…
1. Print copies of the next page and TAPE your box tops to it. 2. Please do not include any expired box tops and do NOT staple them! 3. Send to the office or put in the bins in the office. 4. Each sheet = $2.50 for the school!
This is an easy activity for your kids to do, remind them that doing this helps them get new gym equipment, music equipment, etc. They benefit by helping out.
Of course we won’t turn away any little baggies of box tops so if you don’t have the time to tape them it is ok!
As we brave this cold weather – don’t forget to cut off the Labels for Education UPC’s from the back of all Campbell’s soups and other products!
Make sure the UPC is included with the labels you submit. Without them it doesn’t count!!!
Correct! Wrong!
Keep Clipping This Winter
Last year we were able to buy the school gym balls, a ball equipment cart, paper shredder, pencil sharpeners, DVD games that they use on indoor recess days and even a microwave. Every little bit counts! Keep clipping and sending in!

tax bill. Incoming students need not be present.

Parents who have completed the enrollment process in January and proven residency will be allowed
