Class Party Donations

In November, a letter was sent home from room parents regarding their contact information, a request for your contact information, and request for donations for class parties. If you have not responded yet, please reach out to them ASAP as we are now in the midst of planning class parties for December 22nd.

If you need another copy of the letter that was sent home, please e-mail president@jfcooperpta.org.

At the moment, we are still looking for the following volunteers for the year:

K Cabnet - Room Parent Assistant

K DiPaola - Room Parent

LLD 1 Kleftogiannis - Room Parent

LLD 1 Kleftogiannis - Room Parent Assistant

LLD 2 Keller - Room Parent

LLD 2 Keller - Room Parent Assistant

If you wish to contribute for parties for Ms. DiPaola's class, Ms. Keller's class, or Mr. Kleftogiannis's class, please reach out to president@jfcooperpta.org. The board will be collecting for these 3 classes to make sure they are covered since there are no room parents for these classes.

If you need more clarity on winter gifts or donations for the following classes where there are multiple teachers: Cabnet, Duffy, DiPaola, Kleftogiannis, or Keller - please reach out to president@jfcooperpta.org.

5th Grade Fundraiser - 11/17 to 12/6


Between November 17 and December 6, the 5th Grade Parent Committee is having a special fundraiser. You can help 5th graders earn enough money for their 5th Grade T-Shirts by purchasing gift cards and without donating money!


Here’s how you can help:


  1. Log into the RaiseRight app or http://www.raiseright.com

If you do not have an account, download the RaiseRight app and use enrollment code L293995764473


  1. Add gift cards to your cart - the higher the % shown, the more rewards the 5th grade will earn! 


  1. Continue to checkout. To pay $0 in fees and receive free shipping: Choose to “pay coordinator directly” and send in payment in an envelope marked PTA RaiseRight. Checks should be made payable to: J.F. Cooper PTA


OR - for 15 cents per transaction, you can add your bank account to pay. This is convenient if you want e-gift cards, since they will be available right away.


OR - if you do not care about convenience fees, you can pay by credit card.


  1. We will place the master order for physical gift cards on December 7th. We will contact you when the physical gift cards arrive (usually a week later) and get them to you safely.


With the holidays coming, this is a great time to order! Don’t have anyone to gift to? Use them yourself. Tip: You can order an e-gift card while you’re shopping in the store or dining out and use it right away. If you would like a printable order form, you can print one from the PTA website at http://jfcooperpta.blogspot.com 


Questions? Send them to bridget.moore@jfcooperpta.org.
