Original Works Fundraiser Information

As I was putting the fundraiser packets together I was continually impressed by the artwork our students created with Mrs. Riley. Original Works will transfer the artwork to various items from magnets to note cards, mouse pads, mugs and more. What great gifts for special family members!

Orders must be turned in by Monday, October 25. Completed orders must include the original ARTWORK, order form and payment (cash, money orders or checks made payable to Chestnut PTA). We are scheduled to receive our orders on December 6, in time for holiday gift giving. Thank you for supporting Chestnut PTA by participating in this fundraiser!

Meeting Items for October 6 at 5pm

This month our meeting will begin with a short information session regarding the Replacement Levy on the ballot this November. Dr. Hanlon and Ms. Denise Ward will lead the session and answer your questions regarding Issue 3 and its importance to the operation of our school system.

Business meeting topics will include:
  • information about our upcoming fundraiser with Original Works. Mrs. Riley has done a fabulous job with everyone in Art Class; the works our students have created will make AWESOME keepsakes and gifts for the holiday season. I have had the opportunity to preview the art work and I can't wait for you to see what a great job your child did creating their "Bug on a Rug" or "Under the Sea" or "Lighthouse".
  • volunteer opportunities for upcoming programs and events. One specific need is book fair; Kim Miller and Mrs. Dey are in need of people to help during the day and during conferences. The Holiday Family Night needs a Chairperson and committee as well as other upcoming events.
I am working on getting membership cards delivered. Thank you for your patience. Please remember, this is your PTA. I look forward to meeting you again at a meeting or event. See you at school!~Amy
