Holiday Shoppe

We had the Holiday Shoppe this week, it was a huge success! It was great to see all the children smile and have a great time picking out gifts for their family and friends. Thank you to all our parent volunteers we really appreciate the help you gave to make this event a success.

Have You Joined the PTA?

There’s still time to join the PTA! PTA membership is annual and needs to be renewed each year, so don't forget to sign up again. You can join online at http://www.frespta.org/membership/.

Fall Box Tops Contest Winners

Thank you so much to everyone who has submitted Box Tops so far this school year. We counted 3,523 Box Tops, worth $352.30 in cash to FRES! We received an additional $25.60 in Bonus Box Top App offers and $10.00 from a Costco instant win. All participating students received a pencil. For every 5 Box Tops submitted, students received one entry into a random drawing for a gift card to Five Below (one winner per grade). The contest winners are: Amie S. (K-Lindenmann) who submitted 44 Box Tops; Madelyn P. (1-Kim) 77 Box Tops; Noelle W. (2-Wright) 81 Box Tops; Kennedy S. (3-Jones) 104 Box Tops; Elizabeth R. (4-Taylor) 700 Box Tops; and Destiny H. (5-O'Connell) 107 Box Tops. Congratulations! Combined with our earlier submission (spring 2018), FRES can anticipate a check for $1,065 in December. Way to go FRES students, families, and staff! Visit http://www.btfe.com/ to see where you can find Box Tops.

Each is worth 10 cents for FRES, and they add up fast. Please keep clipping! Any Box Tops submitted after 10/31/18, will count toward a spring 2019 contest.

Don’t forget Harris Teeter - Grocery Rewards!

FRES participates in Harris Teeter’s Together in Education program to help raise funds for our school. It’s easy and it’s FREE. Simply give the cashier our code, 7900, and your VIC card when you check out, and your card will be linked for the entire school year. That’s it! You only have to link your VIC card once each school year. Once your card is linked, FRES will receive percentage of your Harris Teeter brand (Harris Teeter, H.T. Traders, Harris Teeter Organics, HT Farmers Market, and purchases in the HT Pharmacy) purchases credited back to our account. This program does not interfere with your VIC savings or cost you any money! Please link your VIC card to our account code next time you are shopping at Harris Teeter if you haven't already done so this school year! Thank you for your support.

Coca-Cola Rewards

My Coke Rewards for Schools program will donate cash to FRES for Coke points, found inside cartons of 12 packs and on the lids of bottles of Coke products. You can enter codes yourself and donated to Forest Ridge at https://us.coca-cola.com/give/ or you can send them in to the school and we will enter it for you. Thank you for your support.
