Handmade Farm Fresh Holiday Pies are Back!!
Order form is here.
The Rye PTA is once again offering handmade, holiday pies from the Valley View Orchard Pie Company and Apple Farm in Maine. Are you going away this year for Thanksgiving? No worries, these unbaked pies will last up to one year in your freezer! The best thing is that they taste like you made them from scratch.
In addition to the 9” pies, we have added a variety pack this year which will include four 6” pies. The variety pack makes a great gift for the holiday seasons. The variety pack contains a 6” pie in Apple, Blueberry, Pumpkin and Strawberry Rhubarb. The variety pack comes to you frozen unbaked and with cooking instructions. Each 6” pie serves 2-3 people.
Each 9” fruit pie also comes unbaked, frozen and with cooking instructions. Pecan, French Silk and Key Lime Pies will come to you pre-baked and frozen with thawing instructions. Each pie serves 6-8 and the price is just $15. That is the same as the previous two years!
Approximately 50 percent of the proceeds go to the Rye PTA, which in turn go right back into the schools to benefit our children.
Order soon because the deadline is Monday, November 16. Order forms and payment should be returned to your child’s classroom or in the main offices at either the Junior High or Elementary School. You can pick up your pies on Monday, November 23 at the Rye Junior High cafeteria between 2:45 and 6:30 pm.
Have a great holiday and Bon Appetit!

October 2009 Newsletter
Boxtops for Education
Don't forget to check the current list of participating products on the www.boxtops4education.com website. It's far more extensive than just General Mills' food items now; for example, Kimberly-Clark participates so their Kleenex, Cottonelle, Huggies, and VIVA product lines all have BOXTOPS on them. Also, Avery office supplies were added to the list fairly recently.
If possible, it would be greatly appreciated if everyone could submit coupons that have already been trimmed. BOXTOPS coupons that are printed on fairly thick cardboard should be delaminated by carefully separating and peeling away the bulk behind the coupon, if possible. It would also be appreciated if you submit the BOXTOPS in a sealed Ziploc baggy or envelope; otherwise, they are easily lost - some, such as the ones on some cereal boxes, are incredibly tiny when they are trimmed!
You may have your children bring them in to their teacher, who will forward them to me, or drop them in the collection box in the RES lobby. There is also a collection box at the Rye Public Library (upstairs by the coffee).
Based on our current count and what is expected from other clipping volunteers, we will have over $500 - and counting - for the submission on October 31, 2009 (vs. last year's amount of $471 for this deadline).
While you're at it, why not register at BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION? You will get access to coupons for participating products, recipes that are very kid-friendly and healthy, and promotions from participating vendors such as free shipping, etc. You can also quickly register to win 1,000,000 BOXTOPS for our school! Go to www.boxtops4education.com to register and enter the sweepstakes.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to find, trim and submit BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION to our schools.
