How do we raise funds?
Unfortunately, California schools are not funded well enough to cover all
the programs, supplies or activities we would like to provide for ALL
our children. Although the state had increased the school funding in
the last couple years, that trend has reversed due to a downturn in
the economy and we are facing very tight school budgets. California
has the largest student population in the nation, with the most
diverse needs, yet we are 46th in the nation in per pupil funding. The
PTA tries to help by raising funds in a variety of ways listed below:
More for Mohr Cash Donations Program
Want

Gift
Wrap fundraiser at the beginning
of each school year.
Mohr receives nearly 50% of the profit from this
fall fundraiser. If you choose
to participate, take the form to work or ask your friends and family to
make a purchase to benefit Mohr. And, by all means, buy some for yourself!
Out-of-town family and friends can
support our school by visiting SallyFoster.com. Fill out the
easy-to-use “E-mail Campaign” form at
www.SallyFoster.com/student using our school’s account number:
0479449. When family and friends receive the e-mail and click on the
link to Sally Foster’s online store and make a purchase, our school
earns credit.
If you would prefer to not register
your student online, friends and family can make internet purchases at
www.SallyFoster.com. Please use the school’s account number
0479449 so that Mohr School receives the credit. Online orders will
be shipped to the purchaser. Online orders can be placed until
mid-January.

Bi-monthly Recycling Drives.
Aluminum Cans and approved plastic containers are collected bimonthly
and recycled at the local station. Each classroom has a designated
container for its cans. Classrooms get to keep the money they earned
by recycling. The money is used for special activities or resources
for the class. Many thanks to the parents who carry out this important
job.
Questions about the recycling drives?

Box Top and Soup Label Fundraising.
Each time you throw away a cereal box or soup can, you just might be
throwing away an opportunity to financially support Mohr Elementary.
Mohr PTA currently redeems both Box Tops for Education,
available on General Mills packaging, and Labels for Education,
available on Campbell's packaging.
All General Mills cereals, in addition to many other everyday
products, carry the Box Tops for Education coupons that are
redeemable for cash by Mohr PTA. Simply by collecting these labels and
bringing them to the office you can financially support Mohr with
no cost to you! Last year almost $300 dollars was collected via
this program.
Campbell's soup labels, in addition to many other everyday products,
carry the Labels for Education coupons that are redeemable for
school related merchandise by Mohr PTA. These labels can also be
collected and brought into the office.

the Box Top and Soup Label Fundraisers? Contact Chairperson
Tom Wessel.
