COINS OF COMPASSION
A huge thank you to all that gave so generously to the Weld County Flood Relief Fund.  Over $1900 will be donated to United Way of Weld County.  We would also like to thank Lesley Pardew, Timber Trail's philanthropic chairperson for organizing this event.
 
BOOK FAIR
Thanks to everyone who volunteered to make the book fair a great success!  We sold over $16,000 worth of merchandise.  That will bring in about $4000 to spend in the library.  I am looking into great ebooks as well as more of the kid's favorite reads!  Even better, I love seeing kids talking about books, authors and reading.  It is also a great opportunity for kids to shop in a safe atmosphere and learn about money.   For the first time, we had some fabulous fifth graders running cash registers and showing what great customer service is all about.   Thanks again for all of your support and help.

TTEA SCRIP/GIFT CARD PROGRAM
(THE EASIEST WAY TO RAISE MONEY FOR TIMBER TRAIL, WITHOUT SPENDING AN EXTRA PENNY!!)
KING SOOPERS SCRIP
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:  
Purchase a RELOADABLE KING SOOPERS gift card from the Timber Trail front desk.
Shop at King Soopers!  At check-out, simply pay for your purchases with your reloadable card.  TTEA RECEIVES 5% OF YOUR MERCHANDISE TOTAL (excluding services, ie. stamps, money orders).  Your KS gift card can be RELOADED at any time for any amount up to $500 Simply reload at KS customer service or at the register  before your groceries are rung up, using payment method of your choice.
GIFT CARD REDUCTION
We are currently selling off our current inventory of scrip cards. These cards are sold at face value with TTEA earning a percentage of each card.  Look for a scrip order form to come home closer to the holidays where you can place a custom order of cards to fit your individual needs. The in-stock inventory is available for purchase at the front office during school hours.  Please email Carol Lail @ blail1@comcast.net


LOST AND FOUND
With the changing temperatures, our lost and found has grown!  You can help ensure that lost items are returned to their owners.  PLEASE label all lunch boxes, water bottles, and clothing with your child's name.  Please check our lost and found table for missing items.
 

ENJOY YOUR FALL BREAK!  SEE YOU ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 21!
