PTA is excited to offer a new program that will help RQE reach it’s goal of enhanced learning with the interactive technology of Promethean boards! Scrips is an innovative fundraiser that profits from money you currently spend and has unlimited potential…all you need to do is plan ahead for your spending needs!

What’s a Promethean Board?
|
|
- Intelligent tool that keeps students active, engaged and on task.
- Brings images and sounds front-and-center to change the way students see education.
- Has wireless devices to keep students engaged and provide teachers with instantaneous assessment data.
- Contains dynamic software that creates an atmosphere of inspiration and learning by bringing the interactive classroom to life.
Would you like to help RQE get on board with the latest in educational technology? How can you help? It’s easy…
Get SCRIP!
What’s Scrip? Not your typical fundraiser! It’s a program that will benefit RQE without the burden of selling ANYTHING to friends and neighbors. It won’t cost you anything and will earn, on average, 6% of the amount that you’re already spending on your daily purchases!
SCRIP is a term used for anything that is used in the place of money. For our program it takes the form of gift cards from local and national merchants and is used like cash in their stores…CVS, Belk’s, Walmart, Winn Dixie, Starbucks, Old Navy, Gymboree, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Barnes & Noble. When you buy the cards in advance of your shopping, RQE earns a percentage of your purchases ranging from 2-18%. Just think, money you intend to spend anyway will generate financial support for RQE without costing you a penny! Think of your monthly spending on groceries, gas, clothing, and eating out. Think about the holiday season and your gift-giving…family, friends, co-workers, employees, housecleaners, babysitters, teachers, coaches, landscapers, etc…
All you need to do is look over the stores on the order form, think about all the money you already spend at those stores, complete the order form and return it to school by December 1st. PTA will submit a school-wide order to UnitedScrip, and two days later your cards will be in your hands and RQE will be closer to purchasing Promethean boards!
It really is that easy! Questions? Call or email:

No further pre-orders for yearbooks will be taken after this Friday, November 13. There are still a lot of children who have not ordered a book yet, including many 5th graders. I do not order many extra copies, so if you don’t pre-order, you are taking a big chance that you will not get a yearbook in the spring. In past years, we have usually sold all of the extra copies within a very short period of time. If you want to be sure that your child receives one, don’t forget to turn in your order by this Friday. Also as a reminder, ad sales are due by Friday, December 4th. The office has extra copies of both yearbook and yearbook ad forms, if you have misplaced yours. Thanks, Tahnya Northington

Reminder: Friday, November 6 is the last day to pre-order a 2010 yearbook at $25 ($30 for a yearbook with a name imprinted on the cover). If you have questions, feel free to call or email me (799-5216 or TBN511@gmail.com). Thanks! Tahnya Northington
