Family Funbook Fundraiser |
This year the BMS PTO fundraiser will be the "Family Funbook". This book will not only save families money, but it also supports businesses right here in our Buford community. The cost of the book is $20.00, but after just a few uses, that money will be made back and then some. Even better, $11.00 of each book sold will go directly to BMS! On Wednesday we will bring packets for the homeroom classes. Each student will receive an envelope that has 1 Family Funbook and an order form. The book can be bought and/or used to show others interested in purchasing one from that student. Additional book orders will be filled each Friday up through December 10th. If a student is not interested in selling the Family Funbook, they will just need to return the book (unused). As an incentive for the students we will have:
Three $50.00 CASH prizes: one to the top selling student from each grade level and the top selling homeroom will receive a pizza party!
(In the event of a tie for the most books sold, a drawing will be done to determine the winner) Click here for an order form for the "Family Funbook". |
Canned Food Drive |
November 6th - 19th BMS is having a canned food drive. Please bring in canned goods (please check the expiration date) November 6th - 19th to help needy families in our area. Each student who brings in 5 cans will get a dress down sticker (one sticker per student). The winning first period class for each grade level will win a doughnut or pizza party. So clean out your pantry for some fun and a good cause! |
