Fireside PTO
Fundraising
In the 2009-2010 school year, the Fireside PTO raised almost $35,000 through fundraising events and ongoing programs. Thanks to the generous support of our parent community, we were able to help teachers fund classroom projects, subsidize school-wide assemblies, field trips, First Lego League and the Science fair, provide a school wide safety program (Child Assault Prevention - CAP), new PE and playground equipment, and many library books (including an online encyclopedia), to name just a few. This year, PTO dollars will be used to offset the recent BVSD budget cuts. Every dollar raised makes a positive difference in every child's educational experience at our school, and we thank you for your continued support.

Box Tops and Campbell Soup Can Labels
Clip Box Tops for Education labels off General Mills Cereal/Pillsbury/Yoplait/Betty Crocker/Nature Valley/Ziploc/Kleenex/Hefty products etc. Each label is worth 10¢ which can make as much as $20,000 for our school! Just drop them into the containers outside the front office.
Clip Labels for Education off Campbell's and Pepperidge Farms products (think Goldfish!), as well as Swanson chicken products, V-8 juices and Prego Pasta sauces. The UPC codes and caps from these items are worth points towards school materials. Just drop them into the containers outside the front office. This is a great one for younger children to be involved in!
Ink Cartridge and Cell Phone Recycling
By recycling ink cartridges and cell phones, Fireside is not only raising money for our school, but we are also helping to protect our environment! Just bring in empty ink jet and laser jet printer cartridges and used cell phones (we take chargers, too!) and leave in the white containers by the front office. The school can earn either cash or free equipment through various programs. Questions? The answer is just an email away! InkAndCellPhoneRecycling@firesidepto.org
