Fundraising Information The Bel Air Elementary School PTA has wonderful plans for this school year.  Some of the activities planned include: assemblies, field trips and other educational enhancements.  We work with the school staff to provide the children with as many additional learning experiences as possible. We can only do this through the support of you, our parents.  The PTA is responsible to fund many of the extra activities provided to our children.  Market Day- The original fundraising food co-op since 1975.  They sell restaurant quality food and our school earns a profit from each order.  All items are a 100% guaranteed.  Each month an order form will be sent home and there will be a pick-up night at our school.  Order forms may be turned in at school or you can order on-line at www.marketday.com.  Also, when you order four months in a row your family will be a Frequent Buyer and receive free products.  If we get 100 orders for our first order we also receive an additional $100.00 towards our profit.   The pick-up will be held in the school cafeteria from 7pm-8pm.  Come pick-up ypur food on the way home from work, while the kids are at soccer practice -it's quick and you can bring an easy and delicious dinner home for your family!!  The schedule will be as follows: 1st sale October 21st.  A product guide and order form will come home with your child.  Remember to keep your Product Guide all year as there are valuable coupons and recipes!!  Through Market Day we are also eligible to take advantage of the Schoolshare Program.  This is an on-line Shopping service.  Shop on-line at Schoolshare.com and a percentage of the purchase price is returned to our school.  Businesses such as Lands End, Eddie Bauer, Harry and David and JC Penney are among those listed.  So, remember to do your on-line shopping through Schoolshare-our kids can profit while you do your shopping!
