East Washington Pledgestar Site
Our Giving Campaign is underway! Packets should be coming home with students this week. Don’t forget to complete the participation form at the bottom of page 1 and return it to school. This will earn your student the first prize in our campaign. Then go to the Pledgestar site to register your students to earn even more prizes!
If your student did not receive a packet, you can print them from this link or contact us.

Thank you everyone for all of your support!
Our first ever giving campaign will begin September 4th!
Watch for packets to come home with students. If this campaign is successful, it will be our only student fundraiser this year! Some important things to know:
-
The students will benefit from 95-100% of the money donated versus 40% with most traditional fundraisers.
-
Totals will be calculated by family rather than individual student (even between schools).
-
There are lots of fun incentives for the students to get involved, regardless of monetary total.
-
This is similar to a pledge drive…ask ALL of your family and friends! Every dollar matters!
-
Online donations will help this be successful!
The playground at the elementary is coming together! Follow the Playground Facebook page to keep up with the progress. Thank you RTA Playground Construction and everyone who has worked so much on this project!

The EWS PTO had the privilege to walk alongside the EWSC buses in the parade to celebrate Independence Day! We love seeing our community together!
There are some big changes coming to Box Tops! They are going digital!
But that doesn’t mean that you can’t still clip the physical Box Tops. They will be gradually phased out on the packaging of products. However, there will now be a picture in their place to remind you to scan your receipt for participating products.
Currently, you can both clip and scan…which often means double rewards for the school! Plus, the app occasionally offers bonus box tops. Click on the picture to download the app today and start scanning!
Get the app today!
Make sure to follow our Facebook page to stay up to date with the EWS PTO! We will also be sharing area activities and summer fun tips!
