There are less than three months until Christmas and the Star Wars
toys have already taken over the stores!! We carry Toys R Us,
Target, and Walmart for your favorite toy buys! Start buying gift
cards now and put them away for gifts a little at a time.
We are going to start to discontinue some gift cards from the
daily inventory that have not been big sellers and list them on the
weekly order form. Each week we will highlight one of these
items and sell until our inventory is gone. We currently have 4
Papa John’s $10 gift cards available. So if you love their pizza
send in an order. We inadvertently took that off the order form
already so just write it in somewhere on the form and we will fill it!
ENJOY BOOKS
Enjoy Books are just another way for you to earn assessment
credit. They make great Christmas gifts especially for those
people on your list who have everything. The cost is $30 and you
get $8 credit per book sold. There are plenty of coupons to save
such as The Clubhouse, Rocky’s, RompNRoll, Funfest, Wildwood
Highlands, Fox’s Pizza. Domino’s, McDonald’s, Subway, Donut
Connection, Pirate Tickets bogo, and much more. The order

PTG Meeting
St Mary's School
October 7, 2015
I. Welcome Prayer
II. Old Business
a. Oldies Night- Everything is ready to go. We need everyone's help promoting this event to make it a
success. The food is being catered at a great price. There will be 10 really nice raffle baskets as well as a
50/50.
Suggestion to get 8th graders to volunteer
Contact the Faith Formation office about having high school volunteers
Advertise on Craigslist, in other church bulletins, local Facebook pages
Ask permission to sell tickets at the church breakfast this Sunday after mass.
b. KidStuff Books
69 books were sold. The profit is currently $862.50. We still need a few books returned.
c. Santa's Workshop
December 16, 17, 18. Times will be announced in November.
Parents can sign up to volunteer by using sign up genius. More info will be coming soon.
d. Fitness Fundraiser
The gym is hard to secure. A suggestion was made by Cari Katz to use Providence Hall. Marina
is ready to go for holding Zumba classes. Yoga is being put on hold for now.
e. Shoparoo
We collected 17,000 points in just 5 weeks. Please sign up and add your receipts. The more
people we have using it, the more points we earn.
f. Wrapping Paper Fundraiser
We will be doing a Inisbrook Catalog fundraiser.
Marina suggested doing a Pie sale before Thanksgiving
Joe Corbi Fundraiser will be this winter
g. Drive For Kids
Applications need to be submitted before January 2016. We're hoping to have this for Family
Night in May.

different events through the year including the Santa Breakfast.

October 2, 2015 Page 7 of 20
Marina Mangerie is going to several fundraising events this fall. She is going to see how they run
and we can possibly have a similar event in the spring.
Can we get a corporate sponsor for an Auction?
If we have an auction one suggestion would be to use bidpal.
III. New Business
a. Tea Fundraiser
October 13-20 Shop Tea online, you get 15% off, we get 15% and free shipping
b. Amazon Fundraiser
This is an easy way to make some extra money. Families would shop from our specific referral
link and we would get a percentage back. It will take a while for families to get use to shopping
on Amazon from our referral link, but once it catches on we can make a great profit.
c. Restaurant Nights
Lisa Genton has planned these. Pasquale's Pizza night was a success even though the weather
was bad.
Applebees is coming up on October 15th.
d. Candy Grams
Nikki Blackburn has offered to coordinate these for certain holidays. Mrs. Riegelnegg said we
can only do it if the candy is sent home so that students who aren't participating do not feel left
out.
e. Sarris Chocolate covered pretzel rods.
We will not be doing this because SMAA does a similar fundraiser in the spring.
f. Shop N' Save S.E.E.D. program
This program allows our school to have free assemblies from the Pittsburgh Zoo, Carnegie
Science Museum and more. St. Mary's earns points from purchases made at Shop N' Save. In
order for St. Mary's to receive points from your purchases you must enroll your Shop N' Save
Perks Plus card online or at customer service. Our school number is 312. More information will
be in the newsletter.
IV. Any other comments or suggestions?
Lisa Genton would like to do a Jamberry Nail and Mary Kay fundraiser. The Mary Kay
fundraiser would earn our school 40%.
Lisa Genton found a Lowe's Grant for fixing something in a local school. Mrs. Riegelnegg said
keep your eyes open for any grants and resources like that. Many companies and businesses run
similar programs throughout the year. If you hear of any please let her know.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:30 pm
