MOVband Purchase

You want to purchase a MOVband? Many are interested in purchasing more MOVbands for family and friends, so go to www.movband.com and use the promotional code "Windermere" at checkout. Then for every standard MOVband purchased an auto withdraw of $2 goes directly to Windermere PTO. Thanks to all the kids that got moving with their MOVbands.

Attention All Kroger Shoppers

Krogers rewards program is up for re-enrollment. With Krogers each person has to re-enroll every year for Windermere to receive benefits from their program. Their program is really nice because they send us an actual check unlike other programs that send us only catalogs to choose items from for playground equipment. Enrollment and re-enrollment is easy, just go to www.kroger.com/mykroger/Pages/community_rewards.aspx, click on Ohio, and click on Enroll.

Dine Out with Windermere

Windermere PTO is pleased to partner with area restaurants to benefit programs and activities that all of the Windermere students and families get to enjoy.  Throughout the year, we will invite you to "Dine Out" and a percentage of the proceeds from your bill will be donated to our school.  We will inform you of these events.  We encourage you to share and forward this invitation to family, friends, business colleagues, etc.  Anyone can participate!  If you have suggestions of restaurants that we could partner with, please contact Jenny Golowin.

Bon Appetit!

Attention: There is a new fundraising opportunity that will enhance our current "Dine Out" nights. There is a new app called "UA All The Way" available on the I-phone and Droid systems that will allow families to order take out from a variety of UA restaurants. From there, our families can access menus, see pricing and complete an order all in the palm of their hand. During the order placement, the user will be prompted to select a UA organization to donate 10% of their purchase back to Windermere PTO is one of the organizations that will be listed.

Upcoming "Dine Out" Nights:
Bob Evans at 2199 Riverside Drive, Upper Arlington will give 15% of what is spent for breakfast, lunch or dinner from 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. on Tuesday, May 15^th to Windermere PTO. This is an easy and enjoyable way to help support Windermere. *Remember: You must present the flyer.   Bob Evans Flyer

We would like to give a BIG Windermere Hawk Thank You to Adele Thomasson and Karen Ballou for chairing this great event and Heather Smith for organizing the volunteers. The kids really enjoyed the cake walk as always. We would like to thank Susan Chieffo for coordinating the cake donates and all the parents who donated cakes, cupcakes and cookies. Also,we could not have done it without the many, many parent and student volunteers.
