Fundraising
The PTA depends entirely upon fundraising throughout the school year to carry out all the wonderful activities and programs it offers. Many of the following are 'easy' fundraisers...the school gets money for things you routinely purchase. Our school could be getting much more from these fundraisers. Please look into how you can help your child's school and the PTA by supporting the fundraisers. Ask friends and relatives to also sign up on behalf of Guilderland Elementary School. THANK YOU!!Donations
Donations are always appreciated. Simply make a check out to 'GES PTA' and send it to school in an envelope marked 'PTA Treasurer'. Thank you!School Spirit Bags and T-Shirts

right get into the school spirit, with a red sports sack and a COOL
SCHOOL T-SHIRT in red tie dye! Check out the

support.

year from from July 31 to March 31. Inquire about the Advantage
Card at any Price Chopper store, or obtain one directly from the Price
Chopper website, which is www.pricechopper.com.
