Summer Scrip Contest!

As an extra incentive to give Scrip a try, we have come up with a Summer Scrip Contest!

For the next four orders (6/14, 6/28, 7/12, 7/26) for every $100 of Scrip ordered for any company, your family will be entered in to win a $100 Scrip card to your choice of one of the four companies that happen to offer a fantastic rebate to the school:
  1. LL Bean - 17%
  2. Lands' End - 16%
  3. Cabela's - 11%
  4. Old Navy - 14%
Please help support our school by doing the shopping/gifting/remodeling/dining/entertaining that you will be doing anyway!

Reminder:  The next order will go out this Tuesday 6/14/11 by 8am.  Please have your order and payment in by that time.  The order should be in by Thursday afternoon.  A member of FOA will be in touch to make delivery arrangements.

Contest ends at the completion of the 7/26/11 order.  Winner will be annouced by 7/29/11.

<---------  Please see the new poll that is up.  We'd appreciate your input!

No Fuss Fundraiser

Hopefully by now, most of you have heard about the "No Fuss Fundraiser" - this is our big fundraiser outside of Scrip for this year so we hope you will participate. For those who have seen the school, we have a lot of space to fill!

Please take a moment to see if you are able to contribute. A form is due from each family by JULY 1ST, even if you are unable to donate at this time. There are three ways to turn in your family's form:
  • Drop it off up at the school on 6/14, 6/16, 6/21 or 6/23 from 11:30 to 12:30 PM
  • Mail it to Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc. PO Box 6322, Fallon, NV 89407
The Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc. No Fuss Fundraiser
Donation Form

Many parents are tired of selling wrapping paper, cookie dough, magazines, etc. and would like to avoid pressure to stretch orders to reach a prize level. Direct contribution fundraisers allow 100% of the funds we receive to benefit our students. This method of fundraising is only successful if parents contribute generously and we hope you will!

We are asking each family to contribute to the No Fuss Fundraiser at a level with which they feel comfortable. Not making a donation will in no way affect your enrollment. This is a free public school but we would appreciate any help you can give us with our initial costs. Please make checks payable to Friends of Oasis Academy.

Because I don’t have the time or energy to rearrange my closets to store all that wrapping paper, we will donate
