Prize FAQs

* Students must choose only one prize up to the highest prize level earned.  (Students may not select multiple prizes that add up to the highest prize level earned.)

* Students may opt out of receiving a prize.  This is very generous of the student as Teach Boosters can save and repurpose the funds toward school programs.

* Prize levels are PER child so siblings in same household cannot combine to reach a prize level.

* Business sponsorships count toward prize level this year.  

* Corporate matches count if check or electronic funds transfer is received by Oct 6th 8:25am PT.

* All donations (cash/check/online), including your Tiger Support donation/installment, must be received by Oct 6th 8:25am PT to count for contests.

* Root Beer Float Party goes to home room with the highest donations raised. * Principal of the Day   goes to top earner of the entire school. * Teacher of the Day  goes to top earner of each homeroom.   * Plus these amazing prizes:	$1,800+

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the popsicle list for incremental $100 every week?

No.  The $100 threshold is absolute.  The earlier your student reaches $100, the more opportunities your student has to receive a popsicle treat.  (Note:  The homework pass at $100 is one time only.)

How do I know how much my student has received from online donations?

When the students turn in their pledge envelopes on Friday, we write these in.  If you wish for the information sooner, please contact Booster Treasurer.  

I have a business sponsorship, but the deadline passed.  What should I do?  

Our deadline was early in order to receive T-shirts and banners with business logos in time for Oct 6 Tiger Challenge.  If the business is ok with missing the T-shirt opportunity and just receiving its banner (if applicable) after Oct 6, then we'll gladly accept its sponsorship support, display its banner through July, and post its name/logo on TeachBoosters.org (with hyperlinks to the business homepage), Teach Booster Facebook, school newsletter, directory and yearbook.

Tiger Tally - Week 1 - Paws Up!

Wow!  75 students have turned in $100+ as of Fri 9/15 morning and earned a popsicle to kick off the weekend!

Mrs. Dodge's class is leading the Root Beer Float Contest, but Mrs. Woehrle's class is right behind.  The other classes have an opportunity to catch up -- and even surpass -- the 6th grade classes while they are on their incredible adventure at Catalina Island Marine Institute!

Keep your eye on the prize... which is the AMAZING experience at CIMI (6th) next week, Camp Ocean Pines (4th) in Nov and Yosemite (5th) in Jan.  It is such a rare and truly special opportunity for our students!   Of course, there are also these great contests and prizes!  

Note:   Tue Sep 19   is a special collection day as it is the deadline for Business Sponsors (payment, logo and/or banner artwork to  sponsorchair@teachboosters.org) or  online with 2.5% handling.    

If we do not receive the high resolution logo/banner artwork by Tue Sep 19 9pm, then the business sponsor will not be on the T-shirt and the banner may not be displayed in time for Tiger Challenge day.
