With our transition to adding a user friendly website, a new editor to our Cougar Tales, and the continuation of our e-bulletin, we have been experiencing slight confusion with the dissemination of information. We are aware of the problems and are working hard to be more current and accurate. Thank you for your patience!
Things to do now!
- Please visit our website to download the current scrip order form!
- The scrip order is due on Monday 10/13/08 before 3PM.
- This is a great time to stock up on scrip to buy presents for the holidays, birthday presents...and if you are going to attend the Ram takeover in November,
buy scrip for that!
- Sign up for Chalet Bowl Takeover! If you like bowling, or want to try it out, this is a wonderful opportunity! It is a fun and safe environment. You will be playing with other Wa-Hoyt families and it is a good deal! More info below!

SHOP AND EARN MONEY FOR YOUR SCHOOL

TEACHING TOYS AND BOOKS
2624 North Proctor
759-9853

Mark this special event on your calendar. This is an easy way for you to raise money for your child’s school
- Over 50 local schools have been invited to use this event to raise money. Feel free to ask if your child’s school has been contacted. All schools are eligible and we would be glad to add your school to our list.
- Shop the night of the fund-raiser and 15% will be donated to your child’s PTA or similar group.
· Checks are issued the night of the fund-raiser so that the money is available right away for use during the 2008-2009 school year.
· You don’t have to be a parent to participate. Tell your relatives, neighbors and anyone else who might want to buy quality toys and support your child’s school at the same time.
· You can use this event to do early holiday shopping. Much of our holiday inventory will be in the store prior to fund-raiser night.
· You can use this event to pick up birthday presents for your child’s friends. Buy an assortment of birthday party priced items and put them away at home. Then, when your child announces that they’ve been invited to a friend’s party, you can let them “shop” from the collection.
· It’s easy. Just let us know at the register which school you are supporting and we will add the total to your school’s list.
· It’s fun. We will have plenty of knowledgeable staff ready to help you every step of the way. Everyone working together to achieve a common goal gives this event a festive atmosphere. Come join us!

For those who missed their copy of the Cougar Tales, you can now view it on our website
http://www.wahoyt.org/page14/page14.html
Also, on the front page of the website you will find a "Volunteers Needed" section. If you'd like to get involved or are looking for a way to meet a few more folks at the school contact the Committee Chair listed, they can always use a few more helping hands. Go to www.wahoyt.org

Our next scrip order date is October 13th. In keeping with our school’s “green” program, we are going to try to save paper by not distributing a new form to each student every order date. Rather, we will remind you of the due date and ask that you download the form from our web site. There will also be blank forms available at both the Washington and Hoyt buildings; or just give Liz Walle a call and she’ll be glad to get a form to you. The order dates for the entire year are: October 13th, November 3rd and 17th, December 1st and 15th, January 12th, February 2nd and 23rd, March 16th, April 13th, May 4th and 18th, and June 8th.
