Hello Trailwood!
Our largest and most important fundraiser is just weeks away – Saturday, February 23rd! Our dedicated auction volunteers have been working diligently to put on a great event that provides funding for next year’s budget and puts the FUN in FUNdraiser!

Your support of the PTA and this event directly impacts your child’s education. Trailwood PTA aims to provide students and staff with experiences and capabilities beyond the norm, and we have been so fortunate to be able to provide that thus far with huge member support. More money means more things PTA can say “Yes” to! You’re always welcome at PTA meetings (the next one is Tuesday, Feb. 12th at 8:15 am) and all members have a voice in how funds are used.

What does Trailwood's Auction do for your child?


$17,000 - Field Trips & Cultural Arts Programs 
$4,425 - Teacher Stipends  
$3,700 - Educational Software Licensing
$4,625 - Student Activities 
(i.e. room parties, student awards, choir, field day, mathletics, OWLS) 
$4,650 - Family Support and Outreach/Events 
(i.e. Ice Cream Social, Welcome Back Coffees, Moms & Muffins/Dads & Donuts, Holiday Coffee, Science Night, etc.) 

$2,850 - ​Staff Appreciation 
(i.e. Back-to-School Breakfast, Monthly Events, Fall & Spring Luncheons, Holiday Cookies, etc.) 
​

AND SO MUCH MORE!! 
Please plan to attend the Auction to support the PTA so we can continue to provide these experiences for our kids and families as well as support the wonderful Trailwood staff! And if that wasn’t reason enough—spend an evening connecting with fellow Trailwood parents!!

​
Go Thunderbirds!

Box Top Collection is Here Again!

2/1/2019

Those little box tops don't seem like much but Trailwood has earned over $14,000 from box tops over the years! 

Click here for a list of participating products. Then just clip and bring them to the office by Feb. 9.  Check to make sure they haven't expired. Labeled sets of 50 are preferred but it's fine to drop off just a few.

We collected enough box tops to earn $315 last fall.  Not bad, but we can do better!  Consider asking neighbors or extended family if they have any to share. There are more easy ways for you to help Trailwood earn money from box tops as well. Go to BTFE.COM/EARN to learn about the Box Tops Bonus App and special promotions.

If you have questions, please email Kellie Harvey, kelliesharvey@gmail.com

Thank you!
