Week of August 29,2022
Happy Sunday!

We have made it thru one more week! I hope everyone has gotten back in the groove of things.

Our Adopt-A-Teacher sign up is up and ready! See the link below. Let’s make sure every one of our staff members get some extra love this year. Participation each month gets you one hour towards your mandatory volunteer hours, so it is a win, win for both the staff and you! 

Please don’t forget to order spirit wear. We will not be placing more orders this year, so make sure you order before this Thursday, 9/1.

CSA spirit night at Grub Burger is this Wednesday, 8/31. Take a night off of cooking and support our school! 

  

Take care,

Nicole Stone

Make a donation!

Cornerstone's Check Writing Campaign is one of two fundraisers we have each year. The other is our Birthday Bash Auction/Carnival in April. Your donation means that CSA students don't have to sell wrapping paper, cookies, or whatnot to raise much needed funds. We all know that there are gaps in funding from the state, and therefore we encourage every Cornerstone family to contribute. 100% of check writing campaign dollars remain at CSA. No amount is too small, and every dollar makes an impact!  Donations are listed with the Membership options on the PTA website.

Interested in making your donation go twice as far? Check with your company to see if they participate in a Corporate Matching Program!

Do you own a business or know of a business that would like to support CSA and be listed in our directory and on our website? Email CSAUnderwriting@gmail.com for more details and forms. All business donations need to be received by September 9th.

Cornerstone PTA is a 501c organization. Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Questions? Contact Lisa Bown

Spirit Wear

Make sure you get your spirit wear orders in before September 1st! We will only order a few extras so if there is something you want, be sure to get it!

Questions? Contact Sara Skelton


Have you VOLUNTEERED this year?

If so, please log in your hours.  Every family is asked to volunteer 10 hours. It’s highly likely you’ve already earned some hours!  

Go to the PTA Website, and on the home page you will see this button. Click and fill in the form.

Last year we started a partnership with Cane’s as a small fundraiser for the school. Each month we offer a Cane’s lunch for purchase that includes 3 chicken fingers, Texas toast, Cane’s sauce, chips and a cookie for $10. 

Orders are open now & will close on September 4th.
