The PTL Jogathon Fundraiser supports activities and projects all year. This year we will raise money for a new covered sandbox for the playground, three school assemblies (from Mobile Ed and the Oregon Coast Aquarium) and for the drama department.  PTL sponsors many other events like the Spring Carnival, Staff Appreciation lunches, L.E.S.T. and Outdoor School.  The Jogathon is Zion PTL’s largest fundraiser bringing in over 80% of the PTL annual budget. Find out how you can help November 5th Staff Appreciation lunch theme: “Vote for me”! The menu will include ‘very American foods’ (hoagie sandwich bar, chips, Jell-O, classic cake, etc & a red, white &blue theme).     To help out please sign up on the PTL board.   got scrip?    Volunteers needed to begin sales   * Come to school a little early or stay after a bit   * Small time commitment!!   Volunteers are needed to sell scrip at the beginning and end of each school day. A small time commitmentof   one or two 20-30 minute shifts a week~ mornings from 8 to 8:30 and/or afternoons from 3 to 3:30 it all it takes! Meet new friends and visit with current friends and earn money for Zion!  The job is really easy…record the sale, accept cash or check payment, and hand them their gift cards (if applicable). You don’t need to worry about anything other than selling the cards and keeping track of what you sell.   If interested in helping please contact: Kim Heede at 754-0451 or mkheede@comcast.net or sign up on PTL bulletin board.
