How You Can Help
Throughout the year, various activities provide income and support for the projects sponsored by Fabius-Pompey A.P.T.S. You can help by participating in them, volunteering to help with them, or serving as a coordinator. Most are conducted at specific times during the year, however, a few are available at any time.
Current Fundraiser
A.P.T.S. fall fundraiser this year is through the Current Catalog. Shop for that someone special for the holidays. Choose from holiday items, baking supplies, decorations, magazines, and chocolates. A catalog and an order form were sent home with the Elementary School students.
Orders that were returned by November 1 may be picked up at the December 8 Holiday Party at the Community Center from 9 a.m. to noon.
At any time, orders can be placed via Current's website: www.CurrentFun.com. Be sure to select "A.P.T.S." as the organization when you proceed to the checkout. No participant number is required. Online orders will be shipped directly to your house.
The money raised from this fundraiser will help our students through various programs such as 3rd grade Exchange Day, 9th grade Volunteer Day, field trips, Math League, etc.
Printer Cartridge and Cell Phone Recycling
Bring your old computer printer toner or ink cartridges or old cell phones from home, from friends, from family, from businesses. Turn them in to the Middle School / High School office, or the blue bin under the A.P.T.S. table in the Elementary School. Reduce litter and conserve natural resources while earning money to support programs at F-P. To determine whether your cartridges or phones qualify for this program, check the Qualified items List.
This program runs from the start of classes to mid June
Boxtops for Education
Throughout the entire year, clip and save the Boxtops for Education logos from participating General Mills products. They should be submitted by students to the classroom teachers. Prizes are awarded to the classrooms that bring in the most logos. Invite your relatives and friends to start clipping those Boxtops for Education logos today.

Square One Art
Square One Art is a unique fund raising program that offers the opportunity for parents of Elementary School students to purchase items that have your child's original art work on them (shirts, mugs etc.). It all starts with projects in the Elementary School art classes sometime in November/December. Around March, a package including a sample of the student's work is sent home with order forms. Order forms that are returned in March are sent to the company and the items are normally back by Mother's Day.
Scholastic Book Fairs
Take advantage of the opportunity to buy quality books at great prices. Your orders benefit both the readers in your household and the F-P school libraries, Elementary school classrooms, and specials.
These Scholastic Book Fairs are planned and staffed by volunteers, and we are always looking for new faces and new ideas. It's a great way to meet other F-P parents while helping our students, classrooms and libraries. If you'd like to help out, please contact Kristen Klawitter, the Elementary Book Fair Chairperson, at bookfair@f-p-apts.org.
