Fundraisers.  Did you know the PTA raised almost $11,000 for Tulip Grove last year? Let’s try to top it this year! Here’s a rundown of our fundraisers. Plan now to participate in the ones that make the most sense for your family.

• October: Claire’s Gourmet -- This is your chance to stock up on scrumptious cakes and goodies to share with family and friends over the holiday season. Talk to anyone who has ordered from Claire’s, and you’ll learn you won’t be disappointed! Orders will be delivered right before the Thanksgiving holiday.

•  December 3-7: Santa’s Secret Shop -- Back by popular demand, Santa’s Secret Shop allows students to shop on their own for holiday gifts for all the important people in their lives. The shop will be open during school hours December 3-7 and during the Pizza Party on December 7.

•  December 7, 6 p.m.: Pizza Party/Basket Silent Auction -- Treat the family to everyone’s favorite dinner (pizza!), then place your bids on an array of unique themed gift baskets donated by each classroom. From chocolate and coffee lovers to Barbie aficionados and sports fans, there’s a basket that’s perfect for everyone on your holiday shopping list.

• February: Spell-a-Bration -- This terrific fundraiser helps students learn their spelling words, while they raise money for the school at the same time. Students collect pledges for each word they spell correctly. The money goes right back to Tulip Grove!
