Barksdale PTA http://www.barksdalepta.org/ en Copyright 2010 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:23:17 -0600 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Barksdale Basics - March 8 - March 12, 2010 Our Joe Corbi fundraiser runs through Monday, March 8th. Please help us meet our goal!

March Outreach: Sock it to 'em! Part II. In March, we will continue our new sock drive. We are collecting new socks for children for the Collin County Advocacy Center as well as adult-sized socks for Samaritan Inn. Let your child pick out a pair of socks for those who are less fortunate on your next trip to the store. It's an inexpensive way to teach a great lesson on giving and helping others. Questions? Contact Melissa Massey at outreach@barksdalepta.org

If you have any questions, please contact supplies@barksdalepta.org. ]]> http://www.barksdalepta.org/school_supplies/school_supplies/ http://www.barksdalepta.org/school_supplies/school_supplies/ School Supplies Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:27:17 -0600 Buy School Supplies from Your PTA! Packet Pick-up Day, you can purchase the supplies from the PTA. We contract for the purchase of all the supplies for the whole school, so we are able to offer the supplies at a very competitive price. The supplies are pre-packaged by grade level, and they are EXACTLY what were requested by the teachers. We will even deliver them to your child's classroom so they will be on their desk the first day of school! Additionally, the PTA has designated Packet Pick-up Day as a TAX-FREE day, so if you purchase the supplies on THAT DAY ONLY you will save the 8.25% state sales tax. This year's pre-packaged school supplies costs are as follows:
Kindergarten$36
First Grade$44
Second Grade$36
Third Grade$44
Fourth Grade$44
Fifth Grade$48
If you prefer to do the shopping yourself, be sure to use the official BARKSDALE list of school supplies needed by each grade level which can be found at School Supplies - Grade Lists.
