I am so excited to take on the position of PTA President! This year will bring some new challenges and opportunities to Donaldson families and staff, and I am eager to help in any way possible.

Here are some things to keep in mind as we slide into the new school year:

To help keep everyone informed, we have set up a PTA bulletin board in the school office. Here you can find important dates, Market Day order forms, Box Tops and Campbell's Labels submission sheets, and many other helpful tidbits. We also encourage everyone to like us on Facebook at Facebook.com/DonaldsonPTA.

Our PTA Membership Drive begins September 2, when forms will come home in your child's backpack. Clearances are required to volunteer during school hours, so please make sure the school office has a copy on file.

Our first official PTA meeting will be held Thursday, September 18 at 7:00pm in the Donaldson cafeteria. We will discuss the budget for the school year, present opportunities to volunteer, and hear a great presentation. Bonita Allen from the PA PTA office will offer ideas on how to become involved in your child's education. We hope to see you all there!

With all of us working together, I know we can do great things - so let's get started! ~ Kristi Gunderson

A letter from the President

Dear Donaldson Elementary Parents,

It's back to school time and we need your support now more than ever! Did you know that Market Day has helped schools like ours raise over $500 Million over the last 40 years?

It's so easy to support through Market Day, buying groceries that you would be purchasing anyway. Every purchase you make gives back to our school. Choose from 150+ high quality foods online, plus check out the great promotions this month. Right now when you make a $50 purchase, you will receive the FREE Mixing Bowl Set! You can also save $2.00 on each of the three top sellers, Naked Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Supersweet Corn and French Toast Sticks!

Market Day stands behind every purchase, with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on everything you buy. Please consider ordering this month to help us fund field trips. Ordering is easy! Simply place your online order at marketday.com by Wednesday, September 10, 2014.

Let's start the school year off together and get the momentum started!

Thank you for your continued support of Donaldson Elementary PTA!

FROM THE EDITORI’m so pleased to be back this year editing the PTA newsletter and chairing the Walk-a-Thon in the Spring. As we approach the new school year, I look forward to the great work the PTA does and

meeting many more families. Please feel free to stop and say hello if you see me, I’d love to hear what you’d like to read about in the newsletter this year!

Last year a couple items we received from the Giant Eagle Apples for

Students participation were a swing and hops and a ball provided to the

cafeteria for recess.

Box Tops for Education

A big thank you to Michelle Hollyfield, Vicki Danzik and Erin Clay for their hard work in counting all those box tops.We just received our latest check and it was for a mind blowing $979.70. That’s over 8700 regular box tops !! We were even fortunate to have a few ebox tops credits. It just shows that each 10 cent box top can add up. Thank you ladies!!
