Taft 3rd Grader And Her Girl Scout Troup Making A Difference In Our Community

3rd Grader Emma Poorman, a member of Girl Scout Troup 738, along with a grant received from Summertime Kids, sponsored a Family Fun Day for the Domestic Violence Project.

It all started with an idea to hold a small dinner and supply DVPI residents with "needs bags". This idea turned into a 3-hour mini-carnival with games, prizes, a craft, balloons, cotton candy, door prizes, cases of donated food, cell phones, books, toys, and a lunch of rigatoni, hot dogs, chips, salad, rolls, and desserts.

Many area businesses helped the girl scouts with there collections.

Congratulation to Emma and her Girl Scout Troup 738 for a job well done! We are proud to have Emma a part of TEAM TAFT!!

Recess Choices at Taft

Please Save Your Boxtops for Taft!!
For every 10 boxtops for education collected, we earn a dollar for Taft Elementary. The boxtops are found on boxes or packages of products that we use everyday!

Last year we made almost $2000 for our school! This year we have set a goal of $4,000 for our school. Every dollar helps Taft students with 5th grade graduation, 4th/5th grade formal luncheon, family fun nights, running club, carnivals, playground equipment, snacks for OAA testing, assemblies, and so much more.

A collection sheet will go home each month with students. You may also send them in a ziploc bag with your child's name and teacher's name.
