6th ANNUAL CLEARVIEW SILENT AUCTION

Calling all Clearview parents!  The Clearview PTA’s 6th Annual Silent Auction will be held in conjunction with the Children’s Science Center Night at Clearview on Thursday, March 21st.  We are in need of donations of auction items including, but not limited to gift certificates, products, gift baskets, and services.  Donations are tax-deductible as Clearview PTA is a 501(c)(3).

 

It is also time to sign up for classroom projects.  Please consider volunteering to make that special item with your child’s class.  It can be anything from a picture, shelf, art piece, etc.  The skies the limit!  It is as simple as coming up with an idea and contacting your child’s teacher to arrange a time to work on it together.  The signup can be found at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f44a8ac2ea7fe3-parent.

 

Please reach out to Arpita Patel if you have any questions, would like to make a donation or can assist with event planning, donation solicitation or any other tasks that may come up.  Arpita can be reached at arpitaptl@gmail.com.

 

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

Over the life of the Box Tops for Education program, Clearview has received almost $21,000 for programs and supplies for our students, so please continue to collect them for our school. If you shop at Safeway, be on the lookout for Bonus Box Tops when you play their Monopoly game.  These can be turned into the school anytime or saved and submitted during the PTA’s spring Box Top collection contest. 

 

Also, are you ready for another Box Tops Sweepstakes? Just in time for Valentine's Day, Box Tops for Education is having an “I LOVE MY SCHOOL SWEEPSTAKES”. You can enter daily for a chance to win up to 5,000 Bonus Box Tops ($500) for Clearview! It only takes about 30 seconds to enter and the contest ends 3/3/19.

It’s easy as 1-2-3.  Find offers on the app and purchase those products, scan your receipt, and watch the earnings stack up.  Download the app today on the Apple App Store or on Google play if you have an Android.
