There are less than three months until Christmas and the Star Wars

toys have already taken over the stores!! We carry Toys R Us,

Target, and Walmart for your favorite toy buys! Start buying gift

cards now and put them away for gifts a little at a time.

We are going to start to discontinue some gift cards from the

daily inventory that have not been big sellers and list them on the

weekly order form. Each week we will highlight one of these

items and sell until our inventory is gone. We currently have 4

Papa John’s $10 gift cards available. So if you love their pizza

send in an order. We inadvertently took that off the order form

already so just write it in somewhere on the form and we will fill it!

ENJOY BOOKS

credit. They make great Christmas gifts especially for those

people on your list who have everything. The cost is $30 and you

get $8 credit per book sold. There are plenty of coupons to save

such as The Clubhouse, Rocky’s, RompNRoll, Funfest, Wildwood

Highlands, Fox’s Pizza. Domino’s, McDonald’s, Subway, Donut

PTG Meeting

St Mary's School

October 7, 2015

I. Welcome Prayer

II. Old Business

a. Oldies Night- Everything is ready to go. We need everyone's help promoting this event to make it a

success. The food is being catered at a great price. There will be 10 really nice raffle baskets as well as a

50/50.

Suggestion to get 8th graders to volunteer

Contact the Faith Formation office about having high school volunteers

Advertise on Craigslist, in other church bulletins, local Facebook pages

Ask permission to sell tickets at the church breakfast this Sunday after mass.

b. KidStuff Books

69 books were sold. The profit is currently $862.50. We still need a few books returned.

c. Santa's Workshop

December 16, 17, 18. Times will be announced in November.

Parents can sign up to volunteer by using sign up genius. More info will be coming soon.

d. Fitness Fundraiser

The gym is hard to secure. A suggestion was made by Cari Katz to use Providence Hall. Marina

is ready to go for holding Zumba classes. Yoga is being put on hold for now.

e. Shoparoo

We collected 17,000 points in just 5 weeks. Please sign up and add your receipts. The more

people we have using it, the more points we earn.

f. Wrapping Paper Fundraiser

We will be doing a Inisbrook Catalog fundraiser.

Marina suggested doing a Pie sale before Thanksgiving

Joe Corbi Fundraiser will be this winter

g. Drive For Kids

Applications need to be submitted before January 2016. We're hoping to have this for Family

Night in May.

h. Smencills -

Smencills are "scented pencils" and they a huge hit with students. We will be selling them at

different events through the year including the Santa Breakfast.

i. Replacement for St. Mary's Rocks

Cash Bash? Laurie Exler brought some information about how tickets are sold at a cash bash.


Marina Mangerie is going to several fundraising events this fall. She is going to see how they run

and we can possibly have a similar event in the spring.

Can we get a corporate sponsor for an Auction?

If we have an auction one suggestion would be to use bidpal.

III. New Business

a. Tea Fundraiser

October 13-20 Shop Tea online, you get 15% off, we get 15% and free shipping

b. Amazon Fundraiser

This is an easy way to make some extra money. Families would shop from our specific referral

link and we would get a percentage back. It will take a while for families to get use to shopping

on Amazon from our referral link, but once it catches on we can make a great profit.

c. Restaurant Nights

Lisa Genton has planned these. Pasquale's Pizza night was a success even though the weather

was bad.

Applebees is coming up on October 15th.

d. Candy Grams

Nikki Blackburn has offered to coordinate these for certain holidays. Mrs. Riegelnegg said we

can only do it if the candy is sent home so that students who aren't participating do not feel left

out.

e. Sarris Chocolate covered pretzel rods.

We will not be doing this because SMAA does a similar fundraiser in the spring.

f. Shop N' Save S.E.E.D. program

This program allows our school to have free assemblies from the Pittsburgh Zoo, Carnegie

Science Museum and more. St. Mary's earns points from purchases made at Shop N' Save. In

order for St. Mary's to receive points from your purchases you must enroll your Shop N' Save

Perks Plus card online or at customer service. Our school number is 312. More information will

be in the newsletter.

IV. Any other comments or suggestions?

Lisa Genton would like to do a Jamberry Nail and Mary Kay fundraiser. The Mary Kay

fundraiser would earn our school 40%.

Lisa Genton found a Lowe's Grant for fixing something in a local school. Mrs. Riegelnegg said

keep your eyes open for any grants and resources like that. Many companies and businesses run

similar programs throughout the year. If you hear of any please let her know.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:30 pm
