How to Help AZK!

1.) Amazon Smile Amazon Smile is a simple way to help AZ Kelley while you shop. Search AZ Kelley and select our charity which is listed as PTA Tennessee Congress of Parents Teachers Inc. Here are some more details about Amazon Smile. What is AmazonSmile? AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. You can choose from nearly one million organizations to support. Can I use my existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile? Yes, you use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are also the same. How do I select a charitable organization to support when shopping on AmazonSmile? On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), you need to select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. We will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation. How much of my purchase does Amazon donate? The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. 2.) Targer Red Card: Take Charge of Education You can choose AZ Kelley Elementary as an attached charity with your Target Red Card. Target will donate up to 1% of your REDcard purchase at Target stores and at Target.com. Visit www.target.com/tcoe for more details on how to register your card. 3.) Box Tops for Education Simply cut any Box Tops for education off of participating grocery items and send them into to your child’s teacher. Each Box Top is worth $0.10. Box Tops are sent off twice a year and the money is sent back to the school. Easy as that! 4.) Join the AZ Kelley PTA For just $10 a family, you could be a part of the AZ Kelley PTA. We would love to have all families as a part of our PTA. This partnership between the Parents and Teachers has been running strong for ten years. It continues to host amazing events each year and raise money to improve our great school in ways that are best for the children.

This is such a great way to touch base with your child and have genuine conversation. A lot of people have asked if Tony Dungy will be there... the answer is no- he's just the national spokesperson!

Parent SI Team Comment

Mrs. Osburn, an AZK teacher sat in on the meeting. Here is what she emailed me following the meeting: "I thought it was good to hear that their ideas for “school improvement” involve creating opportunities to foster relationships and community. I think those would be valuable additions to our school community."
