ESCRIP - Fundraising that's Easy and a Proven Success!
Newport PTSA has been generating more than $1,500 each year by using the eScrip program. The more parents, friends and family members that register, the more EASY money that PTSA receives. The money generated goes to Grad Knight for the current graduating year. Contact Teresa Pates for more information kplus4@msn.com
How does the eScrip program work?
* Supporters register any or all of their existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.
* Participating national, regional and local merchants will make contributions to enrolled organizations, based on purchases made by supporters, who use their registered grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards. The eScrip program will continually contract new merchants.
* By using these registered cards at participating merchants, supporters generate donations based on a percentage of purchases as determined by each merchant or service provider.
* Every month the enrolled organizations receive all merchant contributions made on behalf of all participants. A summarized report listing supporters, merchants, and contributions amounts are available online. Sign Up Now! https://secure.escrip.com/jsp/supporter/registration/step1.jsp

Open House - Thursday, September 23rd
This event has several components – Grade-Level Meeting, Open House to Meet Teachers, Classroom Bucks Fundraiser, and Shopping!!
Grade-Level Meeting: Parents and guardians from each class will meet in four different places around the school. Locations for these meetings will be posted in the Commons when you arrive. This meeting is scheduled for 6:15 pm until 6:55 pm and it will be conducted by one of the Senior counselors.
Open House: From 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm you will follow your child’s class schedule – 10 minutes per period and a 5-minute passing period. Your student will fill out a schedule for you to use during the Open House. Volunteers will have class schedules to hand out that evening but there will be very, very long lines that may delay you from getting to the Grade-Level Meeting or your student’s classrooms. Volunteers will also have school maps to distribute. Ask your student to write out their schedule.
Classroom Bucks: During 2nd period of Open House, a student volunteer will visit each classroom to collect cash and checks for this PTSA fundraiser. Over $15, 000 in grants were contributed last year to supplement supplies and equipment to enhance curriculum.
Shopping: There will be many tables set up throughout the Commons with representatives from the PTSA and various sports and clubs. You may visit these tables before, during, and after the events mentioned above. Groups will have information to hand out or various booster items to sell – blankets, sweatshirts, license plate covers, water bottles, etc. – so don’t forget your checkbook!
Open House volunteers needed! Does your student need community service hours? Help at Open House night on Sept 23rd from about 5:30 to 9:00 pm. Students sign up in the Main Office.

Does your student have 40 Community Service Hours to graduate?
As we begin the school year, there are approximately 160 seniors who have not completed the BSD 40 hours of community service graduation requirement. Is your student one of them? Check hours or print copies of the BSD and/or Knight Valor forms at http://www.newportptsa.org/NHSContent.asp?KEY=KNIGHTVALOR . Completed forms can either be turned into or mailed to the Newport counseling center. Waiting until next spring to address the requirement, or tracking down forms you thought had already been submitted causes stress on both the family and the pending graduate. Questions?

I hope everyone is off to a great start to the school year! We are heading for a busy fall...
I am attaching the Senior Planning Calendar/checklist that I sent in a previous email. This is a great way to keep your student on task regarding college applications, financial aid deadlines and general college planning. Print it out and keep a copy for yourself and give one to your student! Please note the college visit schedule listed below. If your student is considering other options, Barb Mercier in the Career Center (office located between the accountant and ASB offices) is a fabulous resource!
Additionally, I came across an interesting blog on the Washington Post after listening to a NPR feature on Friday regarding financing college education/student loans. This is a blog that has information/advice for both students and parents http://voices.washingtonpost.com/campus-overload/

Please separate items by category, i.e. kitchen, bathroom, knick-knacks, sports, books, CD’s, small electronics, etc and place them in a bag or box and clearly mark by category. This will make it easier for those who will be setting up the sale. If you are donating furniture and it does not sell, you will be responsible for picking it up. Shopping bags needed also.
If you have any questions about donations contact Gwen Vanloos g.vanloos@comcast.net

I am attaching the Senior Planning Calendar/checklist that I sent in a previous email. This is a great way to keep your student on task regarding college applications, financial aid deadlines and general college planning. Print it out and keep a copy for yourself and give one to your student! Please note the college visit schedule listed below. If your student is considering other options, Barb Mercier in the Career Center (office located between the accountant and ASB offices) is a fabulous resource!
Additionally, I came across an interesting blog on the Washington Post after listening to a NPR feature on Friday regarding financing college education/student loans. This is a blog that has information/advice for both students and parents http://voices.washingtonpost.com/campus-overload/

Grad Knight 2011 Fundraiser - Newport Shores Garage Sale, Saturday, September 11th 9am – 4pm Vanloos Home - 16 Lopez Key
Support our kids Grad Knight by donating and/or volunteering for the annual Newport Shores Garage Sale. The Vanloos Family graciously volunteered their “garage” for the 2011 fundraising event. We can use additional help with clean-up and a Goodwill run at the end of the day.
Donations: You can drop off your donations at their home on Wednesday September 8th or Thursday, September 9th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. (Google their address for directions). Please make sure all donations are clean and in good shape. Please consider that if it doesn’t sell it will be donated to Goodwill. We do not want to pay dump fees for any undesirable items. Please separate items by category, i.e. kitchen, bathroom, knick-knacks, sports, books, CD’s, small electronics, etc and place them in a bag or box and clearly mark by category. This will make it easier for those who will be setting up the sale. If you are donating furniture and it does not sell, you will be responsible for picking it up. Shopping bags needed also.
If you have any questions about donations contact Gwen Vanloos g.vanloos@comcast.net
Recycling event: Saturday, Sept. 11th at Newport High School from 9:00-3:00 through local non-profit 1GreenPlanet, an organization that collects old appliances, furniture, etc. and recycles them in an eco-friendly manner for a small donation. Aspen will be accepting donations. Minimum donation is $10 for small items and $20 for many items. Contact Perry Nunes for more information perrynunes@gmail.com
