2011-2012 Market Day

Wow, not even sure where the summer went, but Back-to-School time is here! We are proud to announce the FIRST Market Day sale of the 2011-2012 school year! All orders are due on-line by Thursday September 1st and pick up is on Tuesday September 6th at 5:30 in the cafeteria. Let’s try to start off the new school year with a bang and get at least $3,500 in sales so we can receive a 15% profit instead of only 10%. Market Day order forms will be going home today with an explanation of our program. You can order on-line instead of waiting for the order form to come home at www.marketday.com. The same graphics are available on-line and all products list cooking instructions as well as nutritional content and serving suggestions.

I know at times we forget, but this is a monthly fundraiser! Market Day products are available each and every month. The standard profit is 10% on all sales up to $3,500 and that increases to 15% once our sales total for the month exceeds $3,500. If we reach over $5,500 in sales our profit jumps to 20%!! If you haven’t ever ordered or it has been a long time, please consider this and place an order. All items come with a 100% money back guarantee. Since 2001, we have earned over $65,000 in profit from Market Day sales. This money has helped fund all kinds of programs in our school, like Dare, Everybody Counts, Governor’s Cup and Math Counts, to installing and purchasing new computers, and numerous other projects around the school. Anywhere you look, you are bound to see something that was funded with money raised by the PTO to help improve the school.

There are lots of great NEW items being added to the Market Day family product line this year! New for our September sale are the Naked Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breasts (#3174 $10.99), Oatmeal with Mixed Berries (#4079 $9.49) and the Five Cheese Garlic Toast (#4261 $5.99). Look for more new items in the coming months.

Interested in earning this FREE colorful Market Day tote bag? Visit the Market Day website and purchase any 3 of the 12 qualifying items to receive it at the pick up on Tuesday September 6th. I have seen this tote bag in person and it is very vibrant and extremely sturdy. A must have for all those party needs, family events and monthly Market Day sale pick ups.

The clearance items are available on-line and they have some great deals on Christmas wrapping paper. While I know we are still buying binders, glue sticks and pens, but what a great way to save some money on your gift wrap needs for the Holiday season. It will be here before you know it!

**On a side note, I wanted to extend a humble apology to all of you who had to wait in the sweltering sun for your July Market Day orders. I truly appreciate your patience. As you could probably tell, the sale was not supposed to have gone like that and all orders should have been packed and ready for you upon arrival. Again, I can’t thank you enough.

Thank you,

Heather Mast and Nicole Newsom
