Hauser PTO is bringing Mixed Bags to Hauser!

We are partnering with Mixed Bag Designs to sell reusable bags, totes, kitchenware, gifts and other eco-friendly products.  You’ve probably seen your friends sporting a Mixed Bag Design, or maybe you saw the products at Parent’s Night. Now’s your chance to get Mixed Bags  for yourself – and they make great holiday gifts! A packet with catalogs and order forms will come home with your child on Wednesday, September 28th.  The sale begins online on Tuesday, September 27 and ends October 12 – so get your orders in quickly! Check out the flyer for more details.

Starting tomorrow, you can log on to www.mixedbagdesigns.com/?fundraiserid=571146 to order online, share the link with friends and family, or get a sneak peek at all the great products in the Mixed Bag line. Our fundraiser ID is 571146!  Share the website and catalog with neighbors, co-workers, friends and family – there’s something for everyone!  Thank you!

For years, Hauser has run a magazine drive, and this year, we’re only running it online.  40% of magazine sales come back to Hauser PTO!  Magazines make great gifts for everyone in the family, especially those hard-to-buy-for people on your holiday list.  You can order magazines year-round just by clicking on the link below.  Make sure to use our school code, so that we get the credit:  2657336.  If you have any questions, please email Carol Barlow at carol377@att.net.  Thanks for your support.

Could you help out?  We are looking for some volunteers to chair or co-chair the two PTO events described below.

Staff Appreciation Week

These chairs/co-chairs will organize a celebration for the Hauser staff the week of May 1st and coordinate a dinner for the staff during conferences in November.

Little Symphony

This chair will help coordinate refreshments for the Little Symphony performers.  Little Symphony is performed three times throughout the school year.

If you are interested in volunteering to help with either event or have any questions, please contact Lisa Gaynor @ ltgaynor@aol.com.

Does your family enjoy Tyson chicken products? Did you know there are redeemable labels on most Tyson Anytizers, nuggets, and other products? Then you can earn cash for PTO! Tyson’s Project A+ works like Boxtops – just send in the labels you’ve clipped from products you already use and Hauser PTO gets a whopping 24 cents per label! Clip these labels on boxes and bags and check your freezer!

One hundred percent of what the Hauser PTO does for our students is funded by the fundraisers we sponsor throughout the year. We realize that not all fundraisers appeal to everyone, so we’ve created an opportunity for you to give your way through the Hauser 100% Fund.

This is the school fundraiser that uses your money, but not your time.

• 100% hassle free! This is the “just write a check”option that is simple and quick.
• 100% tax deductible!
• 100% product sales free!
• 100% of your donation supports the Hauser PTO!
• Your generous donation will benefit your children…100%

Giving to the Hauser 100% Fund is completely optional, but parents are encouraged to contribute a suggested amount of $100.  Any amount, however, will be 100% appreciated and well utilized.

Offering 2 Easy Ways to Pay:

1. Checks payable to Hauser PTO
