DON'T FORGET TO PAY FOR AFD!
REMEMBER, 100% PARTICIPATION = 100% SUCCESS!
Only two weeks left to turn in your AFD forms! Our school is dependent on the funds we raise with this money. We do not want to put Bay Laurel in jeopardy of losing all of the amazing specialists and programs we currently offer our children. 100% participation equals 100% success and right now the school is only at 58% participation !  

If your company offers a matching program for donations made, please fill out a form or contact Colby Bekhor at bekhor2@hotmail.com .

If you have already paid at the Bronze level or higher, remember to pick up your magnet in the office.

Please turn your form in to your child’s teacher or to the office, OR click the button below to donate online now!

PARTY BOOK IS BACK, AND BETTER THAN EVER!
What the heck *IS* Party Book, anyway?

Party Book is a collection of social and educational gatherings for students, parents...or maybe even both! Generous hosts donate the cost of the party so that 100% of the ticket revenue goes directly to the PFA, which funds incredible academic programs, specialists, events, and other opportunities at our school!


DEADLINE TO SUBMIT HOST FORMS FOR OCTOBER-DECEMBER EVENTS IS THIS FRIDAY, 9/28!

Questions? Want to host, but need ideas? Email the Party Book Chairs, Sandhya Kawatra ( spkawatra@gmail.com ) or Samantha Barnett ( sgboroda@gmail.com ) for more information.
