Hello there Parents !!! We, the Forest Ridge PTA understand how busy your lives are and the hustle and bustle of working and raising a family.  That's why we appreciate so much when you take time out of your busy schedule to help your child participate in one of our fundraisers.  This week your child will bring home the first fundraiser called Cherrydale Farms.  This fundraiser is a catalog with an order form you fill out and send back.  There is also a website you may go to and have out of town family order from and your child will get credit there as well. The online site is www.cherrydale.com and the code is 161404.  We strongly suggest if you have an order that is $75.00 or more to order online as it is free shipping on orders $75.00 and up.  Another plus is it will be delivered directly to you.  Any orders that are late will have to be ordered on line and be charged shipping if under the $75.00 mark. Forest Ridge will receive 50% of profits from paper orders and 40% of profits from online orders. Any child participating in the fundraiser will receive a smencil (which is a really cool smelly pencil).  Other prizes your child can earn are included on a prize sheet in your packet. The products are expected to be delivered around the second week of October.  Orders not picked up the day of delivery will only be held two weeks and then donated.  Please keep in mind that the school does not allow us to store our orders there and they will have to be taken home by a PTA member.  So please make arrangements to be able to pick up your items the day of delivery.   Our second fundraiser will be Kidstuff coupon books which will start in October.  Anyone that has children and loves to save money should have one of these!  There are tons of great food, clothing and entertainment coupons in these books.  This year we will only be sending them home with kindergartners, due to the very large enrollment this year.  You will be getting an order form to order your coupon books and we will fill orders as they come in.  If you would like a sneak peek of the coupons in this years book, we will have a few at our back to school night PTA table.
