Scrip/eScrip/Schoolpop:  Scrip is our biggest fundraiser, yet it costs families nothing to participate!  Buy scrip at school through your Tuesday envelope or on Fridays during Ice Cream.  It's easy, convenient and we have a great selection of vendors!   And, register your credit cards and Vons Club Card with eScrip to earn money for Pennekamp while you shop.  Did you know that when you shop on the web, Pennekamp PTA gets a percentage of your purchase at no additional cost?  Go to www.schoolpop.com for more details. This is a great volunteer opportunity for parents with younger children who can only donate limited time to PTA.  For information or to volunteer, contact Christie Mancilla and Lori Meepos.

Book Fair: Once a year the Pennekamp PTA sponsors a book fair, featuring current, high-quality fiction, nonfiction, and gifts for PK students and their families.  Working on the Book Fair is fun!

Box Tops:  Cash for Trash!  Before recycling those boxes from General Mills, Betty Crocker and other products, tear off the little "Boxtops for Education" symbol on the top and send it to school.   We pack them up every few months and send them off for redemption.  Last year PK received over $2000 from this program!  Classrooms with the most boxtops win monthly ice cream parties.

Gift Wrap: During September, the Pennekamp PTA has a gift wrap fundraising drive.  We offer high quality wrapping paper, stationery and gifts just in time for the holidays.  Students are encouraged to sell wrapping paper to family and friends.  PK PTA nets a 50% profit on all sales.

Jog-A-Thon: The mighty Dragons of Pennekamp show their strength in the spring for our Jog-A-Thon.  Sponsored by parents, grandparents, neighbors and friends, our tireless Dragons run around the field for as many laps as their little legs can take.  The Jog-A-Thon traditionally raises money for special projects at school.
