Club’s Choice Fundraiser kicks off! (posted 9/8/21)
This fall, students at RSTEM have the chance to help raise funds for the school by selling items from Club’s Choice to their friends, family and neighbors. In exchange, the PTO receives cash back and the students receive fun prizes and special rewards!
There are wonderful gift and food items that you can sell to your family and friends. This is RSTEM PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Every item sold brings money back to the PTO, which in turn uses it to fulfill teacher wish lists, buy t-shirts for every student and staff member at RSTEM and fund activities that the PTO sponsors throughout the year.
Our online store can be reached at: www.clubschoicefundraising.com/register with school code: RICH52. The fundraiser runs through Tuesday, September 21.

QUESTIONS????
If you have questions please contact Stacy at rstempto@gmail.com. We do need volunteers for the event.
The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a group of parents and teachers who are working together to build a community at the Richfield STEM School. We support the school by helping with fundraising, event planning, funding needs such as field trips and coordinating volunteers.
The PTO meets monthly to plan events and assist the school. The PTO is 100% volunteer run and is always looking for new members. You do not need to attend the monthly meetings to be involved, you just have to want to help!
