King Soopers Reloadable Cards! Here's how they work: ~Purchase a card for $5 from Sarah Welt at the Front Office. The card costs $5 because it already comes loaded with $5. ~Before checking out at King Soopers, ask the cashier to load additional funds onto your card. You may use any credit card you normally pay with to load your King Soopers card. ~After your card is loaded, the cashier will scan your groceries, and you will pay with your loaded gift card. The school earns $5 for every $100 you load onto your card! If you have any questions about the program, please contact Sarah Welt at Hospitality@bfhebfheptco.org. **Just a reminder... your King Soopers Reloadable Card may expire after one year of inactivity. Amazon Smile Box Tops Please keep bringing in your Box Tops as the school collects them all year long. Place them in a ziplock bag with your child's name and their teacher's name written on it. Then turn in your Box Tops to the appropriate bins, which are located near the front entrance. The next batch will be counted in OCTOBER 2019!

Distribution of PTCO Funds Raised 2018-19 Technology/Media: (30%) School Programming: (25%)Classrooms: (20%) Integrated Arts: (15%) SPED: (10%) Principal's Priorities: (nominal%) The BFHE PTCO had originally planned to allocate proceeds from this year’s spring fundraisers as it did last year, with funds going to technology & media (30%), school programming (25%), classrooms (20%), integrated arts (15%), SPED (10%), and principal’s priorities (nominal). A significant portion of this year’s spring proceeds will be saved to go towards projected updates to our school playground.

We want to thank all the community donors who are helping us to make our school be the best it can be. |
