New playground equipment is a HUGE hit! I heard comments like, "This is AWESOME!", "I'm coming up here over the weekend to play!" "This is the best day ever!" and many, many thank you'd! THANKS to our awesome PTA & especially the committee who did so much work in planning: Amy Siebert, Jessica Witt, Shelley Pollak, Eugene Kheyfets, Andrea Cook, Lori Locke, Cindy Holscher, & Erica Tate (and I hope I didn't miss anyone).

Small Card, BIG Results
2016 Olathe Major Saver Campaign
The Olathe Public Schools Foundation
is once again offering Major Saver cards for sale through the Olathe elementary
schools. Students will receive the sales
packets on Tuesday, January 19th and can continue to sell the $15
discount cards until Wednesday, February 3rd. Proceeds from the sale of Major Saver cards
directly support the participating schools and the activities of the Olathe
Public Schools Foundation. Last year,
the Foundation and participating schools raised over a record $153,700 through
the sale of the Major Saver cards. Pleasant Ridge uses the funds from this fundraiser to support our Patriot STAR program by purchasing supplies and prizes.
The 2016 participating
restaurants/establishments include: Olathe Parks and Recreation, Culver’s,
Johnny’s Tavern, Noodles & Company, Pie Five, Austin’s, Texas Roadhouse,
Smoothie King, Schlotzsky’s, Goodcents, Johnny’s BBQ, SPIN! Pizza, Sylas and
Maddy’s, Pizza Street, Foody’s, Small Cakes, Pizza Hut, Cosmic Jump, &
Price Chopper.
Major Saver cards can be purchased via cash, check or online
at www.majorsaver.com. The online sale can be credited back to a particular
student and school. All cards purchased online will be mailed directly to the
customer. Prizes and credit to the student will be fulfilled by the end
of the campaign.
Major Saver stresses safe selling
and discourages door to door campaigning. The company encourages students to
sell to family members, church patrons, neighbors, or other adults the family
may know; and to always make sure their parents are involved.
Please consider purchasing one or more Major Saver cards
this year to help benefit the Olathe Public Schools Foundation and the students
within the district.
Thank
you for your continued support!
