Get Involved
Daniels Run PTA is always looking for volunteers, but there's a quicker way to support your school this holiday season. A new gift card fundraising program will provide the main source of funds for the PTA's activities this school year. The PTA is buying gift cards at a discounted price from national and local retailers. They then sell the gift cards to parents and community members for full value, keeping the difference to pay for school activities. You can use these gift cards as stocking stuffers or to pay for your usual expenses, like groceries, gas and other everyday items. 

Check with the PTA for gift card order dates. The next one is Dec. 8. Click here for the order form and a look at the participating retailers. And click here for a step-by-step guide on how to get ahold of your gift cards.

Box Tops are another quick way to get popcorn and a movie party for all of the school. As of Nov. 13, Daniels Run had collected about 12,000. The school needs to collect 20,000 by Dec. 9 to get the party. Email beckiereilly@aol.com for more information.
