For the Hale Parent Support Group (Hale PSG), our main fundraiser for 2011-12 was our Hale Non-Fundraiser Fundraiser. Thank you to all who participated!
Both Pompo-Center and Hale groups participate in additional fundraisers. These include:
Box Tops for Education. Yes, we collect those little coupons found on cereal and other groceries. Each coupon is worth about 10 cents to us, so bring them in! We earn literally hundreds of dollars from Box Tops each year. Collection boxes are located at all schools, as well as at the Randall Library and Council on Aging. For more information on the Pompo-Center program, see Pompo-Center Collection Programs.
One Cause. We also participate in the One Cause program. If you order online, simply start at One Cause, enter 01775 for the zip code to our town and choose Pompositticut School, Center School, or Hale Middle School.
Target. If you shop at Target and use your "Red Card", you can earn money for our schools. Simply link your card to one of our schools by going to Target Red Card "Take Charge of Education".
Cartridge Recycling. We collect and recycle the ink cartridges for the schools, and welcome them from the community.
