FROM BLUFFTON PTO__Did you know the PTO collects Community Market receipts? The PTO earns 1% back on eligible community cash purchases.
Simply ask for the receipt and send it in with your student or drop it off in the office. Send them in as you get them or store them up at home until you’ve got a collection.
It always helps to fold them neatly so they are easier to read the bottom section.
