Partnerships with local businesses:

Hannaford: From August 30-December 6th 2014, Hannaford will give back money to schools when people buy 4 participating products (any participating product, not necessarily 4 of the same product).  Typically a coupon will be printed and given to you to put in the UID slot at the store.  If you feel that you did buy the correct amount of products and did not get a coupon, please go to the courtesy desk to get your coupon for UID!  This is a great way to earn money for the school while you shop for groceries for your family.  There will be more info to come regarding Price Chopper's tools for schools. 

Upcoming events:

Harvest Market Sept 27-28th:  UID will have a table selling peanuts, UID cookbooks, etc. We need volunteers for short shifts, to staff this table.

Open House Volunteer Table and Spirit Wear Oct 1st: If you have experience here and want to represent the PTO or help welcome new parents and answer questions, please volunteer to volunteer answering questions about volunteering, at our volunteer table! 

Halloween Hustle Oct 11th: 5k and Fun Run: There are many opportunities before and during the event to help out.

Four Winds: Our first training is on Monday, 10/13 in the Jericho Elementary School (not UID) art room at 8:15AM.  Join us if you can - contact Jessica for more information.

If you can help with any of these events, please send an email to uidpto@gmail.com to sign up.  Thank you!
