Used Book Sale
The used book sale is both a fundraiser and a fun way to get more books in our kids’ hands. We need volunteers to help coordinate, sort books, and be there for the sale.
Classroom Representatives
We need a representative from each classroom to attend FTO meetings and report back to their class, either at the monthly parent meeting, or via email. This person will make sure all the parents know what’s happening next.
Art & Poetry Night Classroom Coordinator
Art and Poetry night is one of the best events of the year! We will need lots of volunteers to help teachers set up their classrooms, and we need everyone to bring cookies for our cookie sale.
Yearbook
We hope that any parents who get a good picture of the school events will share it with the FTO to use in the yearbook! Please send all pictures to coyotewillowfto@gmail.com
Boxtops Coordinator
Boxtops help raise funds for our school. They need to be counted and submitted once or twice a year.
Fundraisers:
- Smith’s: If you haven’t already enrolled your Smith’s card, please do so through your Smith’s online account. CWFS receives a portion of your spending at no cost to you!
- Caring Cents: You can enroll your credit cards in this program and each time you use your credit card, it will round up to the next dollar amount and that amount will be donated to the school. You can set a cap amount for each month so you only donate whatever amount you are comfortable with.
