BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!
THE ANTI-FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

A one time donation, instead of fundraising, to support the PTO goals this year!  It only works if everyone does his/her part!!

To Date we have only had 57 families donate! We have a long way to go and need the assistance from Hyatt’s families who are over 700 strong! You can turn your donations anytime to the front office, or via mail.

A Note from the PTO:

We want to extend a warm welcome to our incoming 6th graders, new staff members, and any new families coming into Olentangy Hyatt’s Middle School! We encourage you to get involved in the OHPTO. Why? It’s fun, rewarding, and all about the kids!!! The PTO goals directly benefit your child’s education. We have several exciting changes and new events this year!

To name a few:

- providing smartboards to enhance your child’s interactive learning experience
- utilizing Barnes and Noble for our book fair including fun in-store events or on-line
ordering to benefit OHMS
- an author visit from Margaret Peterson Haddix on August 26th with pre-visit book sales

EARN $$$ FOR YOUR STUDENT’S
8TH GRADE DC TRIP ($700 in 2010)
BY SHOPPING AT KROGER!

• Kroger Community Rewards Program will donate a percentage of all your in-store purchases to Hyatts’ PTO if you sign up your Kroger Plus Card.

o Kroger donates $2.5MM per quarter to Ohio shoppers enrolled in this Program based on their food purchases.
o Hyatts’ PTO receives about $4000 per quarter: 50% goes to individual student’s 8th grade DC trip accounts and 50% supports PTO programs.
o Parents, family and friends can all earn for your student and our school!!!!

• Signing up is easy!
o Go to www.krogercommunityrewards.com, create an account and select Hyatts’ PTO (#82081) as your preferred nonprofit organization.
o Send the Plus Card numbers and names of all Kroger shoppers earning for your student to Barb Sheehan at babzips39@aol.com. Include your student’s
ID name, number and grade.

• Other details
o Kroger only counts food purchases, not alcohol or gas (sorry).
o Sixth-graders can earn for DC accounts starting Aug. 1 – but sign up now to earn for the PTO in the interim!
o Participants must reenroll every April; Barb will remind you.
o Kroger reports balances every 3 months; that info will be sent out to everyone who sends their info to Barb.

SCRIP orders can now be placed online. This gives you the convenience of placing your orders from home or the office. Setting up an account is quick and only requires an email address. To get started, just go to www.Shopwithscrip.com and click on the Getting Started banner in the middle of the page. It leads you through the program and registration. The Hyatt’s Middle School enrollment code is 52893A6F14764.

If you have questions about this new program, please contact Jonna Beard at jbeard@verizon.net.

The PTO is always in need of volunteers!!! It is a great opportunity to get involved in your student’s life and to meet people. The time commitment is minimal compared to the experience of relating to your pre-teen as he or she navigates through middle school.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped this past year. We know your time is valuable and we appreciate everything you did to make Hyatts Middle School programs a success.
