We have worked hard to identify fundraising partners that provide products of value to the community and embody values we would like to promote.   Just KidStuff coupon books-We are excited to offer Just KidStuff coupon books.  Each coupon book costs $25 and can quickly pay for itself with the tremendous savings it offers. Equal Exchange Fair Trade products- We are also offering Equal Exchange Fair Trade products for sale.  Products include coffee, chocolate and snacks. Sally Foster gift wrap- We are still offering Sally Foster gift wrap. Order forms for both Equal Exchange Fair Trade products and Just KidStuff coupon books were included in the summer mailing packet from the Chappaqua PTA and can be found on the PTA website.  You can also purchase your coupon book through Cindy Greenstein, wovicechair@chappaquapta.net.  Fans of Sally Foster gift wrap will still be able to purchase products online and support the PTA.  Go to www.sallyfoster.com and use account number 181309. We appreciate your continued support of the Chappaqua PTA, and we hope you enjoy our new offerings!    FUNDRAISING   We are continuing our Boxtops collection!!!  Please deposit your clipped Boxtops in the box located in the WO Main Lobby.  WO received ten cents for each Boxtop.   WHAT'S HAPPENING AT WESTORCHARD   WELCOME TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE...
