Wear Pajamas and Donate Pajamas
In conjunction with the school- wide Pajama Day, the CARE Committee is sponsoring a PAJAMA Drive for Cradles to Crayons. As always we strive to teach children that giving can be fun & rewarding, but this drive is also a contest with an amazing Bruins prize! The school that collects the most pajamas will win a visit by the Bruins Mascot "Blades" and Bruins star, left-wing player P.J. Axelsson. This year's goal is to provide 5,000 BRAND NEW pajama's to children in need throughout Massachusetts . We need your help to reach our goal and win the Bruins prize for the WARD SCHOOL ! NEW Pajamas will be collected in the bins in the CARE Corner in the entry of the Ward School through Friday, February 28th.
School Stimulus?
It's time for our own economic stimulus plan. Win big contributions for Ward School and a few extra bucks for you. Here's all you have to do: Install the OneCause Toolbar on your computer before March 31 to win a $500 contribution to Ward plus a $100 gift card to the OneCause merchant of your choice. With the toolbar installed, you earn not only an entry into OneCause's toolbar bonus giveaway, you will also be making sure every eligible online purchase you make counts for John Ward PTO, even if you forget to start your online shopping at OneCause.com. That could result in up to 5x more contributions for Ward! Many online vendors like Kodak Gallery, Lands End, Lancome, and FlowersPro offer coupon codes and free shipping through the OneCause.
