Bingham Bid + Bash: March 14
All adults (family, friends, neighbors) to join us for Bingham Farm's biggest fundraiser of the year! This year we are taking on the casual vibe and heading on over to Paddle + Par. Take part in pickleball, sports simulators, appetizers and dessert, live raffle, drinks and more! All equipment is provided and we will introduce you to pickleball if you are unfamiliar. Not interested in playing - there will be plenty of space to mingle and meet-up with fellow families (minus the kids and their chaos). Pre-sale tickets are required and price increases on March 3.
Annual Bingham Farms PTA Auction - Donations Needed
Donations to our annual Bingham Farms Elementary PTA Auction Event are now being accepted. If you own or work for a local business that is willing to make a donation of service or product, we welcome your participation. Have a fun talent, sporting tickets, new games, or other auctionable items? Let us know. Every bit helps to support our amazing school and the programs the PTA supports.

Conference Refreshments
Help us provide some treats and refreshments for our teachers and staff during conferences on March 24 & 25. Choose an item on the list or provide your own favorites. All treats should be dropped off at the school office. Thanks for brightening their day!
Stock the Lounge
Our teachers and staff are just like us...
Please help us bring a winter pick-me-up to our Bingham stars by stocking the staff lounge with delicious treats and a variety of caffeine options. Drop off an individually packaged snack, protein fix, or caffeine beverage to bring a bit of joy on these cloudy and cold winter days. Choose from an item on the Sign-up-Genius or one of your own fav's.
Volunteer Opportunities: Now to June
Each newsletter, we will update volunteer opportunities for ways to get involved in the school and see your kiddos. No experience needed, just warm smiles and a willingness to help out. *Volunteer opportunities for class parties will be sent out by your Grade Connector. In the meantime, will you consider helping us in the Library, Cafeteria, or on the Playground?
*Please note on days when it the weather is too cold to go outside, we especially need volunteers to help supervise classrooms so that teachers can get much-needed breaks!

Kroger Community Rewards
Help our school while you shop. Under your Kroger Plus Card Account > Rewards > Community Rewards, you can select an organization that a portion of your sale goes to support! Choose AC809 for Bingham Farms Elementary and our PTA gets a check with no extra steps after you sign-up.
Box Tops for Education
A great way to support the school is through Box Top$ for Education. Long gone are the days of clipping the barcodes of cereal boxes or soup labels. Download the app, select Bingham Farms Elementary, and each time you shop at the grocery scan your receipt. It will auto calculate the donation and send it to our school! It is easy, and you don't need to know which food or supplies qualify for credit - the app checks for you. Now download that app while you wait for the bus, or in the pick-up gathering zone. Thanks for supporting our school, and be sure to share with friends and family too!
