October 21, 2018

Hollymead PTO is thrilled to announce two new fundraising opportunities. The first is with Shutterfly, the leader in personalized photo products, offering photo books, gifts, and unlimited FREE photo storage. The second is with Tiny Prints, the leader in personalized stationery, offering luxe designs from top stationery designers. For each purchase you make from either one of these brands, 13% will be donated to our organization.

How to Support Us:

1. Go to our Storefront URL here – http://hollymead.shutterflystorefront.com
2. Click through to Shutterfly.com or Shutterfly.com/Tinyprints and start shopping
3. Make a purchase

That’s it, it is that easy AND you can still use any promos that are being advertised on the Shutterfly site. Feel free to share this email with all your friends and family…the more people who purchase, the more our organization earns!

Come support Hollymead and leave the cooking up to Which-Wich THIS Thursday, October 25th! Swing by Which-Wich between 4:00-8:00pm with your Hollymead PTO flier (DNO Flier can be found on our PTO website or here: Which-Wich DNO Flier)

Which-Wich is a Win-Win… dinner is taken care of, and it supports our Hollymead PTO!

Be sure to bring your paper flier!

A huge thank you goes to our Book Fair team lead by Amy Cochran, Vanitha Perumal and London Liebengood. This year was our most successful book fair ever with lots of excited students, many books donated to teacher classrooms, and money raised for the Hollymead library. Thank you also to Nicole Dunn, who graciously coordinated the Bingo Night and Bake Sale during Bingo Night at the Book Fair.

Many thanks to all of the families who supported these events, the teachers who helped call our bingo numbers, and to the many volunteers who gave their time and energy to help throughout the week. It takes a lot of volunteers to make these events happen and we really appreciated everyone chipping in.
