CRESTVIEW OPEN HOUSE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 4 - 6 PM
This
year the PTA is not hosting traditional fundraising events like we have in the past (wrapping paper, magazines, etc.), instead
we are establishing the Crestview Cardinal Club Fund. A successful fund drive allows us to:

Participate in the National PTA’s Reflections
program ê
Offer fun, family events such as the Harvest Social
and the International Dinner ê Recognize
and support the Crestview faculty and staff ê Purchase
harmonicas for 3rd graders ê Support
RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) by matching funding requirements ê Purchase Weekly Reader and Science Weekly booklets (used in all classrooms) ê
Contribute funds to the school library ê
Provide funds towards the purchase of playground/recess
equipment
To continue supporting these events and others, we need to achieve our goal of $20 or more for each student at
Crestview. The money collected is based on individual donations beginning at $1 and up. Students
and teachers will receive Crestview Cardinal Spirit prizes based on their results. Participation in The
Cardinal Club Fund is voluntary. We offer several donation levels with each having its own special benefit.
