AGS Families,
On behalf of all of the teachers and support staff at Alice Gustafson School and the Early Childhood program, I would like to thank all of the parents who worked so hard to make us feel so very appreciated this week. The flowers, gifts, food, and notes of thanks that poured in were overwhelming. It makes us all thankful to be part of the AGS community.

The AGS Technology Expo was designed to help parents gain insight on how your children and the AGS community can learn more effectively with technological classroom tools. However, we as a PTO can’t do it alone—it takes a team, and we need your help.
What does this plan look like? Bottom line, to turn this goal into reality, we need to raise $200K. We know this won’t be done overnight—which is why we need to establish realistic goals as well as a long-range plan. If we look at the current AGS student body, we have just over 300 families. Reaching the set goal amounts to $650 per family. That is a lot of money, so we need to put on our thinking caps and get creative on how to raise this amount—be it through donations, corporate sponsorships and/or grants, bake sales—you name it. But we need every family’s help in reaching this goal.
This is why we have formed five committees to help make our technological vision a reality:
We encourage you to volunteer for one of these committees, and to make a difference in your child’s life, as well as the children who will follow in their footsteps at AGS. Please consider your strengths, or those of fellow parents that you know, and fill out this form to help share in this vision. Together, we can do great things. But it’s going to involve the efforts of everyone.

Watch your backpack for the Market Day flyer!
So far we have raised over $2100 for the AGS PTO. This is such an easy program. A couple of AGS parents had monthly standing orders including one who ordered $500 in Woodman's monthly to do her grocery shopping. This resulted in $25 monthly to the PTO or $200 during the school year. If 50 AGS parents did the same, it would generate $10,000 a school year to the PTO, solely through the sales of Woodman's certificates.
Need a new Order Guide? More are available in the school lobby (flagpole and office entrances) or view it online at www.marketday.com.
Market Day accepts the LINK card as payment. Market Day offers a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with any of your items.
Friday, January 27, 2012 at 7:35AM The Box Tops Contest has ended! We raised over $890 in this round of Box Tops collection for a grand total of over $2200 in Box Tops! That is free money for the AGS PTO and the most that we have ever raised in a year!! Great job to all the classes who brought in Box Tops.
Mrs. Green and Mr. Davis' kindergarten class raised the most and will receive an Ice Cream Party.
Mrs Stierwalt's class will receive a special treat also as they were the second place classroom in both the fall and winter collections.
Thank you to everyone for your participation and keep clipping those Box Tops!
