HELP US!
Join Us for the 2008-2009 School
Year!!
Thank you to all the
parents that have volunteered to help with the PTA. We are looking forward
to a great 2008-2009!!
We still need more
parents to help - we have a number of committee chair positions still open
such as: membership, Fall Festival, SpiritWear, Pizza Bingo Night,
legislation and grant writing.
If you are interested in
helping Holly Ridge Elementary through the PTA this is a great
opportunity.
The PTA needs many parent
volunteers to be successful. Please contact Tracy McGuire your
2008-2009 President at

Dear Parents,
If we can get every
Holly Ridge Elementary parent to commit Just 2 Hours to helping out, we
can do amazing things for our kids and our school.
Will you please take
the 2 Hour Involvement Pledge?
We've started using a
program called 2 Hour Power that emphasizes that all help, any help makes
a huge difference for schools. The research is so clear - kids at schools
with a broad base of involved parents perform markedly better on all kinds
of key school measures.
As you will see from
the Interest Survey & Pledge Form, we would love to help you get involved in
any way that works for your schedule and interests. What would you like
to do? When would you like to do it? We would like to work with you to make
sure all parents can pitch in. Involvement is for everyone.
We would love your 2
Hours, and -- Really! We promise! - there is no obligation beyond
helping out in this small, but important way.
If you would like to do more – great, but we know that is not a fit for
everyone.
Participating in our 2
Hour Power program is easy. Simply complete the enclosed Interest Survey
& Pledge Form and return it to school with your child. We will then be in
touch with opportunities that fit your interests and availability.
Together, we can make
a huge difference at our school! As always, please feel free to call or
email if you have any questions or concerns.

Money
Cash donations are always welcome and take the burden out
of fund raising. When you donate you can specify where you would
like your donation to be used or simply make a general donation
and let the PTA decide where the money is most needed by the
school and students.
If donating by check, please make all checks payable to: HRE
PTA.
HRE PTA Check Policy - We are happy to accept your check.
Our fee for returned checks is the face value of the check plus
a $10.00 service charge. All checks must include your home
phone number and the names of your child's teacher on the memo
line.

No Frills
No-Frills programs are at no cost to you! It
is a very easy way to help as you already use these products
and shop at these stores. The participating companies are Box
Tops for Education, Campbells, Tyson, Fast Fixin', Kroger,
Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Target, Lowes, and Office
Depot. (Please see the below links for your convenience.) We
have set up collection envelopes outside of each classroom.
Please send in your labels, milk lids, and computer ink
cartridges along with your children frequently as we will be
running contests throughout the school year. If you have
questions regarding these programs or know of other companies
that will participate, please contact me! Thank you!

You can often enroll in these programs
directly at the cash register - just ask the cashier. Normally
they will already have the school code on file.
