Sally Foster

The Sally Foster program offers an outstanding variety of the highest-quality gift wrap and coordinating accessories, stationery, gift items, and gourmet edibles, including fine chocolates–at prices comparable to retail stores. Sally Foster is the primary fundraiser for the PTO each year with 50% of every purchase coming directly to our schools.

Last year we raised over $20,000! These proceeds are used to support enrichment opportunities and school programs for grades K-8. Previous programming has included visiting authors, singers/songwriters, environmental presentations, trips to the theater, ballet and museums as well as supplementing busing costs to attend these events.

Please be aware that the 2008-09 school budget does not include funding for field trips in grades K-5. Thank you for your support of this critical fundraiser!

It's Not to Late to Order !

Our on-site Sally Foster sale is complete for this year, and we wanted to both thank all of our participating families for their help in making the sale a success, and remind families that they are able to continue to purchase items on-line until June 2009, with 50% of the purchase price returned to MSAD #51 PTO on the same terms as during the original sale.

Based on our preliminary tally, it appears that yet again, we’ve had an overwhelming response from the community, resulting in another successful sale this year. These funds enable MSAD #51 PTO to fund our enrichment opportunities for grades K-8. We are grateful to the community for responding so generously and look forward to being able to offer exciting and stimulating opportunities to MSAD #51’s schoolchildren.

Thank you!

Take Advantage of On-line Selling and Buying!

If you have friends and relatives that don’t live locally this is an easy way to include them in our fundraiser. Don’t want to be bothered with picking up your order at school, order on-line and have it shipped directly to your house! Sally Foster is offering FREE SHIPPING for orders over $70!

Sellers: Go to the Sally Foster Website where parents may sign up their children (separately if need be) as a Fundraising Seller and then send email messages announcing your sale. Our school still gets 50% of every purchase and your child gets credit for the sale! Every time a purchase is made on a child's behalf, an email message is sent to the parent’s email address. The email includes the purchaser’s name and the number of items ordered so students know who to thank. Parents can view their child’s online orders anytime in the Sellers Section at SallyFoster.com. They simply type in the email address and password they entered when signing up. Please remember to include internet sales when determining the prize level earned.
