Original Works Program at RIS
This month, the Ramstein Intermediate School PTA will be running the Original Works Program. In business since 1989, Original Works is the No. 1 art based fundraising company in the country and currently works with thousands of schools and hundreds of thousands of students each year. Through the Original Works program, each child will have the opportunity to have their very own artwork  reproduced onto a variety of high quality products, including magnets, mugs, mouse pads, ceramic tiles, T-shirts, note cards and nearly two dozen other products. Every child is eligible to participate in this program. The program is designed to encourage creativity and self-esteem. To help with the program, e-mail Sanja Abshire at risptapublicity@google.com.

Box top clippings
There are only few weeks left to compete for the classroom party, so get busy and send in those box tops you’ve been clipping. Each student will bring home a zip-close bag. Place the box tops in the bag and send it back to school where it will be added to the classroom bag. We will announce winning classrooms after the collection deadline on Oct. 19. One class per grade level will be treated to either pizza or movie/popcorn party. For more information, e-mail danpattyg@gmail.com.
