Your Weekly BGS PTO News & Happenings

We're wrapping up December with our big final push to the Toy Sale - both for donations and for volunteers!

Remember to drop off any gently used toys, bikes, or kids' books during donation hours on Friday. Times are 9 AM - 2 PM, then again from 4-7 PM.

We can also still use some helping hands, so either drop by school any time from 9 AM - 8 PM to help us set up or join us during the sale on Saturday. Sign up for times on our volunteer registration here: http://bit.ly/18ToySale. Hope to see you there!

- Kelly & Briana, PTO Co-Presidents

Read-a-Thon Updates

We've officially closed out our Read-a-Thon collection period. Through your efforts, we raised more the $7,700! Thank you to all of your friends and family for contributing to enrich the BGS community.

We'll be doing all of our final recognition for our readers and fundraisers at the school-wide meeting at the end of January. That's also when we'll be duct-taping our principal and PTO co-president to the gym wall. Stay tuned for pictures!

Shop & Support BGS with Amazon Smile

Still doing holiday shopping on Amazon? Why not earn money for the school while you're at it? Just go to http://smile.amazon.com and register to support the BGS PTO (we're listed as PTA New Jersey Congress Of-Bradley Gardens). It's still the great Amazon services and prices AND Amazon donates a portion of the purchase back to our school! Just remember to place your Amazon purchases from smile.amazon.com rather than the regular Amazon link.
