We are excited to be participating in a Yankee Candle fundraiser this year to help raise funds for all of our amazing grants requested by teachers and staff. We appreciate our families, students, and staff with their help with this sale! Order packets will be sent home with students on Monday September 25th.
SOME WAYS TO HELP:
- Sell, sell, sell! Mahoney PTA earns 40% of every sale. Students have catalogs and order form packets to start selling right away. Orders are due Monday, October 16th. This allows for delivery of items by Thanksgiving.
- Have family from away order online. We also earn 40% of sales from online orders! Invite friends and families to shop online at: www.yankeecandlefundraising.com and click on the “Seller Login” button to sign up to be a seller.

- Students- work together with your homeroom selling the most items. The homeroom with the most sales will earn themselves a breakfast treat party.

Brown Elementary has asked us to remind students to not come on school grounds as they leave Mahoney in the afternoon. There is a lot of activity as the elementary students are dismissed and the adults are helping the younger students hop on the right bus or make their way to their parents. Thank you for reinforcing this with your student.
