Earn Money
for Midas Creek while you shop!
If you shop on Amazon, you can effortlessly
earn money for Midas Creek Elementary (MCE). Midas Creek is part of
the Amazon SchoolRewards Associates program, a simple and painless way for you
to help us fundraise, simply by shopping as you normally do at Amazon.com.
There is no sign up involved – you just click on our school
shopping link to get to Amazon and then shop as you normally do – Amazon does
the rest. You don’t have to sign up, and you don’t have to enter any special
codes – just link before you shop.
THE LINK IS ON THE SIDEBAR OF THIS PAGE!!
Clicking on this unique
SchoolRewards link takes you directly to Amazon.com, where you can browse and
shop just as you normally would. Each month, Amazon pays us up to 10% of
all purchases made by shoppers who reached Amazon through this special MCE
link. That includes products sold at Amazon by other companies, too.
Bookmark And Share Our SchoolRewards Link
Make this the first link you click each time you shop at Amazon. Help us cast a wider net by sharing
the link to our blog with friends and family. Anyone, anywhere who uses
this link, even non–MCE families, can help us raise funds for the school by
clicking our link before they shop at Amazon.
The
Nitty Gritty
• Order matters: You need to
link, shop, and check out, in that order. If you don’t click on our link first,
go to Amazon in your usual way, put things in your cart, and then remember to
click on the link and check out – your sale will not earn us funds. You
have to click our link before you put anything in your cart.
• The clock matters: You have 24
hours from when you link to put an item in your cart; after that you will need
to link again. If you link, put something in your cart within 24 hours, but
don’t want to buy it right away, that is fine – the purchase will still earn us
funds if you finalize it within 90 days: just remember to link before
you checkout.
• One purchase session per
link session: Arriving at Amazon through our link is good for 24 hours
or until you actually place your order – after that, you need to link again. So
if you link, complete a purchase, and then need to make another purchase – you
have to link again in order for the purchase to earn us funds.
• You won’t see anything that
identifies you as an MCE shopper. Don’t worry - as long as you used the MCE
link and follow the order and clock guidelines, your purchase will count.
• The amount MCE can earn ranges
from 4% to 10%, depending on what you purchase and our total shipped items for
the calendar month. The more we shop using the SchoolRewards link, the
more we will earn. We will post earnings reports on the
PTA blog.
Thank you for your support! This is a great
opportunity for people who want to help MCE but don’t have extra time or
resources to spare. We appreciate your contribution to our student programs and
fundraising efforts.
Happy shopping!

4th & 5th grade...Day of Dance - November 3rd
Every year “Dance and the Child International” (daCi)
sponsors a statewide dance conference for children in Utah. Their mission is to promote dance for
children and excellence in the teaching of dance to children across the United
States.
The conference this year is on Saturday, November 3,
2012. It will be held at BYU from 8:00
a.m. until 3:00 p.m.. The conference is
a day of dancing, with workshops in all forms of dance for ages 8 and up. The theme this year is “Stories that Move Us”. The children that attend will be making books
that they will be able to bring home.
The culmination of the conference is a performance given by the
individual groups that attend.
Performing at the Day of Dance is a privilege, as they only
invite a few groups in the state to perform each year. Midas Creek has been invited to participate
this year. Our 5th grade
classes have been learning a dance that goes along with the conference theme
perfectly. Because of this, we are
giving our 5th grade students the opportunity first to sign up for
the conference.
In order to perform we need the children to register for the
conference. The cost is $10 per
child. daCi is providing a bus for our
students to get there and back.
In order to participate we need a commitment for the
following:
1.
Register for the conference on line. (Details
below)
2.
Attend 3 before-school rehearsals. (Details below)
3.
Be available Saturday November 3rd
from 7:30 – 4:00.
We hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity.
To register please
go to: http://www.daciusa.org/dayofdance/index.php?sid=Utah,
When you register your child please specify our school in
the School/Group name, so I can know who registered. Only students that
register will be able to perform.
Extra rehearsals:
Monday Oct 29, Wednesday Oct 31, and Friday November 2nd,
from 8:00 – 8:50.

Box Tops
As
of September 30, 2012, we have earned $1,220
for our school by collecting and
turning in Box Tops!
We are off to such
a good start - let's keep those Box Tops coming in!! Remember to make sure they are NOT expired
and try to attach them to the sheets that have been and will continue to be
sent home on a regular basis. If you are
in need of more sheets, please have your student ask their teacher, or pick
some up from the office. Thanks for all
of your support in the Box Tops Program!

THANK YOU!!
Our first annual Fun Run was an enormous success! The
results exceeded our expectations! We
would like to thank all of you who participated in this event. Because of your incredible support, we were
able to bring in 75% more profit than our Halloween carnival ever did! All of the proceeds from our fundraiser will
directly benefit each child individually as they participate in field trips,
assemblies, reflections, computer programs, etc. We are looking forward to more successful Fun
Runs in the years to come at Midas Creek.
Also, we would like to thank our great
community sponsors who donated auction baskets and items for our swag
bags. What a fantastic community we live
in!
Thank you again for your continued
commitment and support to the Midas Creek PTA.
