Write A Check Fundraiser | 100% Participation Goal

The theme at Bonny Slope for the 2010-2011 school year is Reflect.  As a school community we have been very fortunate over the past three years in providing a wonderful experience for our children. The commitment and support of all of our families makes this possible.  Your participation is reflected in the exceptional education your students will receive this year at Bonny Slope. Help us achieve our goal of 100% participation in this year’s Write-a-Check program.

Write-a-Check is the main fall fundraiser for Bonny Slope, enabling the school to offer the following programs and more:

• Educational Support
• Art Literacy
• Artist in Residence
• Science Fair
• Passport Club
• After School Activities
• Family Events
• Community Outreach
• School-wide Support

The current economic environment makes us all stop to consider the value of a dollar and any support is greatly appreciated.  At a cost of $90 per student last year, BSCO was able to fund these programs for your child.   100% participation will provide a great, meaningful year for all our children.

Every dollar makes a difference – literally.  Whether your contribution is $1 or $100, every dollar of donation will go directly to the school for the programs mentioned above.  Remember, these donations are tax deductible and a receipt will be sent for your generous contribution.  All donation information is strictly confidential.

Progress toward our 100% participation goal will be tracked by a thermometer in the main lobby.

New incentive for 2010-2011!  For every family that donates $100 per child…their child will receive a yearbook, directory and have their class party fee paid for.

If your child’s spirit wear from last year no longer fits, you can donate them to our school office.  Hand-me-downs are always welcome and needed.

Go Bobcats!

These are the embellished shirts. They run small so we suggest ordering two sizes up.

These are the youth and adult basic shirts.  They are the same quality as last year and will be offering these in a sport grey and white fabric with the cat logo on the from and the large paw on the back.

We will be offering the same quality sweatshirt as last year in the sport grey with the Paw logo only.
