Help BHE WHile You Shop

Shop with Amazon:

Grocery Card Program:

Please consider joining our Grocery Card Program and purchase HEB Grocery cards from our PTA. You get the full value of the card but the stores donate a percentage of each sale back to our school. You can order cards in either $50 or $100 amounts. It’s a great way to support PTA when you buy groceries!

Annual Fund Drive Update

Thank you Barton Hills Elementary parents and grandparents for your support!  Did you know the Annual Fund has raised almost $20,000 this year?  This is amazing!  Because of your participation we are able to skip time consuming fundraisers like selling gift wrap and cookie dough. Our goal is 100% participation; currently we have 44%.  Can you help us reach our goal today?  Here are suggested levels of giving:
· $25         Nest Egg (pays for 1 t-shirt, directory, yearbook, and anthology)
· $50         Hatchling
· $100       Eaglet
· $150       Eagle
· $200 +   Bald Eagle
Visit http://bhepta.com/AnnualFund to donate online and to view a list of our generous donors.  The donor list is also posted next to the PTA bulletin board at school.  Checks can be dropped in the PTA mailbox in the office for your convenience.  Thank you, Eagle parents!  Any questions or comments?  Contact Kelly Tagle.

Barton Hills T-Shirts!

Barton Hills T-shirts are all the rage!  The artwork designed by 5th grader Alexandra Currie-Buckner turned out beautifully on the navy shirts.  The PTA provides each student a t-shirt.  Additional shirts (youth or adult) are available for $10.00 each.  This year we are also featuring a ladies cut shirt.  If you would like to purchase a shirt, simply print the order form, complete it and leave it in the PTA box in the office.  Deadline to order t-shirts is Friday, September 11.

If your child did not get a shirt at Meet the Teacher, or if you were unable to attend Back to School night, please let Tina know and she will get it to your child’s teacher.
