SCRIP CARD PROGRAM Here's a simple way to put money into your school. These are a few of the over 100 businesses that will donate money BACK to the school when you buy their scrip cards. Sometimes as much as 16%! Give the cards as gifts, or keep them for yourself...either way...a portion of the money that you normally spend, goes back into your child’s education.  For information, contact Christine Bennett.

There’s money attached to those boxes, just waiting to be deposited into your PTA Bank Account. These 10-cent box tops could add up to thousands of dollars for our school. If every child in the school brought 15 box tops a month to school, that would total over $1,300 per month that can be used to help purchase supplies and equipment for our students. Visit www.btfe.com to see a list of participating manufactures. And while you are there, check out the Marketplace and Reading Room for additional ways you can help raise money for Boon Elementary. For more information, contact Mike Woodall. SHARE CARD PROGRAMS  Do you shop at Albertsons, Kroger, Tom Thumb? If the answer is YES....you could be earning money for your PTA and your children.  By using your grocery share card when you shop, money is donated to our school.  It’s that easy.  For more information, contact Carin Woodall.

We are installing an engraved brick pathway which will not only enhance our school ground’s appearance and increase it’s functionality but act as a fundraiser as well. You may purchase a brick for a myriad of reasons such as honoring your child/children, honoring loved ones/family members/friends, in memoriam for a loved one, honoring a veteran, etc. Buy purchasing an engraved brick you will not only be honoring someone special to you but also contributing to the growth of your child/children at Boon Elementary. Click here.
