The T.F.M.S., in association with Cards-By-M,e will be sponsoring a very special fundraising activity. The T.F.M.S. students will be devoting class time to create the front cover of a greeting card. In order to truly make this activity unique, the students will be free to draw whatever they wish. Thus, a set of greeting cards will include each student’s individual artwork.

Each set of 12 cards is packaged with envelopes and delivered to our school. Parents will be able to use their children’s own creations to send greetings and well-wishes to family and friends. These greetings cards have come just in time for the holiday season.

Order forms are ready (include copies of artwork, not original). Please submit by Nov. 2.

If you have noticed there is a sign for recycling cellular phones. Not only is this a “painless” fund-raising initiative, but as responsible citizens, we can feel good that old cell phones don’t end up in landfills, but instead are recycled. Please drop your old cell phones into the box provided. We receive $1 for every cell phone collected, based on minimum 50.

We would like to remind you that the cell phone collection campaign is still on and we have a considerable number of used cell phones; thank you for bringing in your used phones. Please continue to bring in your used and unwanted cell phones, or if you know someone who has unwanted cell phones. Thank you.
