2014 Tax Letters
We just finished sending out the 2014 Tax Letters via email.  If you expected a confirmation letter and have not received one please email setfundraiser@gmail.com and we will get that to you right away.  

Employer Matching Contributions
We also wanted to remind you to check with your employer to see if they will match your contribution to Eaton.  This year we received matches from Symantec, The Gates Foundation, The Kaiser Foundation and more!  The SET team and Eaton treasurers are always happy to assist with providing the necessary paperwork.  

Spotlight on SET $ in Action!
Right now Eaton 2nd graders are participating in the Washington Ballet program Dance DC.  Twice a week Washington Ballet instructor, Saki Scheller works with the second grade classes to learn the basics of ballet.  The program introduces discipline, purposeful physical activity, classical music, and team work.  Thank you all for making this fantastic program possible!

Over 90 solicitation emails were sent off to local businesses this past week thanks to ERIN LOUBIER, KAREN ROBINSON-OGBEBOR, CAROLYN MELROSE, HILDA WILLIAMS AND LORNA NEILL. The race to the finish (March 28th) is on for this year's Annual Auction Eaton Presents: The Kentucky Derby. Saddle up folks and SIGN UP to volunteer today! We need your support to make this year's auction a success.  There is much to be done before the big day!

Every child in the school benefits from the extras (Art, Enrichment, Technology, E-learning programs, classroom supplies and much more!) that the funds pay for. Please do your part to support our biggest fundraiser.
