Fundraisers

Because of the efforts of parents, volunteers, and partnerships with local businesses, Signal Hill Elementary PTA is able to provide exceptional support to the school through fundraising programs and direct donations. The PTA strives to provide varied opportunities for families to financially support Signal Hill Elementary, and many require no additional out-of-pocket expense. We are delighted to be able to enrich the school in such meaningful ways. Thank you to everyone for helping us meet our fundraising goals.

Be sure to sign up your grocery bonus cards to benefit SHE. See the Grocery Partners Tab for more information.

Help Our Local Businesses, Help Our PTA, Attend a Spirit Night

Spirit Nights at local eateries and other businesses are one easy way Signal Hill families can contribute to the work of of the PTA. Businesses offer us a portion of their sales and you only spend the money you would normally spend having a night out. Watch for your favorites like Chick-Fil-A, McDonalds, and Barnes & Noble, and Potomac National Baseball night and see what's new this year too! If you have suggestions or questions regarding spirit nights, please email Ann at spiritnight@signalhillpta.org.

What's Next

Spirit Nights are being scheduled for the 2010-2011 school year. If you have a suggestion for a fundraising spirit night with a local business please email info@signalhillpta.org.

The PTA will hold a traditional spirit wear sale in September. Tee shirts and sweatshirts will be available for purchase. Stay tuned for the design and details.

Major Retailers Want To Give Our School Money!

When you buy scrip, you are buying gift certificates and gift cards that are used just like cash. They are the same gift cards that you purchase at checkout at the actual retailers where you already shop. They make excellent gifts, too! And with every purchase, you earn money for Signal Hill!

These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, like our school, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with scrip at their stores. How does this work? The Great Lakes scrip company purchases the gift certificates from retailers at a discount. Then our school sells them at full value and the discount for which they were originally purchased is our profit.

For the 2009-2010 School Year we will hold only a few Scrip Sales. The first sale will be prior to the Barnes & Noble Night so that you can purchase gift cards to use during the Spirit Night thereby doubling the benefits to SHE! The second sale will be a holiday sale prior to winter break for your holiday shopping needs. If you have questions about the Scrip Program, please contact Jill at fundraisingvp@signalhillpta.org.
