It’s really quite easy to raise money for Georgetown. Money raised helps fund field trips, assemblies, Reading Counts, Just Write, classroom materials; as well as art, music, gym, and library expenditures. Thanks for your help!

Popcorn Money Request: The PTC is happy to help fund “Popcorn Fridays” throughout the school year. The past couple of years, we have asked for monetary donations to help cover the cost of supplies and the annual cleaning of the popcorn machine. If you can donate just $1 per student to this fund, it would be greatly appreciated. Please send the money to school in an envelope marked “popcorn money” to insure its proper fund assignment. Thanks!!!
The Walk-a-Thon: Our annual Walk-a-Thon is in two days! This year the event will have a “green” theme. It is scheduled for September 21 and 22.
NEW FUNDRAISER for 2011-2012: A Coin War (Replacing Classroom Basket Fundraiser)
This year we thought it might be fun to try a new spring fundraiser: a Coin War. So start saving your coins (but no pennies!) for our competition. Money will go toward classroom learning materials. The collection will occur the week of February conferences: February 27th through March 1st.
Papergator: Don’t forget to bring your newspapers, magazines, old phone books, etc. to the Papergator dumpster in the parking lot. The more we bring, the more money we make for Georgetown!
Spartan Cash for Labels: We receive cash for any UPC symbols clipped from Spartan brand products that you purchase from your local Family Fare and D&W stores. Just clip and collect UPC Symbols from any Spartan brand products (refer to the sample UPC symbol shown here). You can send any collected labels to school with your child, or drop them off in a special drop box that is located outside the office (next to the Box Top and Campbell Soup Label drop boxes).
Campbell Soup Labels: We receive points from certain product labels (Campbell Soup, V8, Spaghetti Os, Pop Secret, etc.) which the school can redeem for items in a catalog. In the past we have redeemed points for playground balls, pencil sharpeners for classrooms and last year we got a wii to encourage students to raise money for the Walk-a-Thon. The orange “Labels for Education” can be brought to the drop box outside the office or sent to school with your child.
Box Tops: Remember to save the little “Box Tops for Education” rectangular labels on various food and household items. Information about competitions will be posted at a later date.
