Downtown Dollars – Thank you for supporting the Downtown Dollars fundraiser! We raised $195 for the PTA. Did you miss the deadline but want to purchase Downtown Dollars for holiday shopping and gifts? No problem! Due to popular demand, we will be offering Downtown Dollars sales again. Downtown Dollars are gift certificates that can be used at participating local shops and restaurants. They have no expiration date, and the PTA receives a portion of all Downtown Dollars purchased.  The fundraiser runs from now through Sunday, December 13th, with delivery by Friday, December 18th.  Order your Downtown Dollars today! Contact Megan Shoemaker at meganrinaudo@gmail.com with any questions.

This offer lasts through the entire month of December. See flyer for additional information!!

You can find more ideas on their Amazon wish list. (They are requesting new, unwrapped toys.) Sharing Connections is glad to receive multiples of the same toy, and $25 gift cards to Walmart and Target are welcome as well. The Toy Drive ends TOMORROW Thursday, December 10th.
