News You Can Use:
There is 1 more week to sell Gertrude Hawk Candy. Orders are due November 13th. 8th graders going on the DC trip can use 50% of the total sold to apply towards their trip expense. All others that participate will help the PTO raise funds for field trips, assemblies and other great things.
Have you heard that our "Ride to School with the Bravest Raffle" has been extended to the middle school. The lucky winner from Rombout will get a chance to drive to school on a fire engine. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10. Proceeds will benefit the PTO's Washington DC Trip Scholarship Fund. Tickets will be on sale during lunch periods. The elementary school drawings have been extended too - so there is still some time to purchase your tickets.
Come join us at Five Guys in Fishkill on Nov 20th from 4 pm to 10 pm to help raise money for the Washington DC Trip Scholarship Fund. Help us spread the word and tell your family, friends, and co-workers. We hope to see you there!
Do you know any other business that would be willing to contribute to our scholarship fund? Please let us know. You can reach us at Romboutpto@gmail.com.
Our Annual Box Tops Contest starts on Nov 20 and ends on Dec 20. The "A Day" homeroom that brings in the most box tops during the contest will win a Dunkin Donuts Breakfast. Please don't stop sending in Box Tops once the contest is over either. We can earn 10 cents for each one all year long. Money raised from Box Tops benefits all PTO programming.
Did you know your bottle deposits can be donated to RMS PTO? Just return your bottles and cans to A & A Redemption Center, Inc located at 794 Rt 52, Fishkill. Make sure you tell them you would like your deposit returns to go to Rombout Middle School. You can return all cans, water and beer bottles and all store brands are accepted. It is quick and easy - no counting, stacking, machines or lines.
