Our Coke Rewards is at 10,350 points already.. that is wonderful! Last year we ended the year with 10,800 so I know we will be doubling that amount this year!
Box Tops need to be sent in by Halloween.. because some of them are expiring! We collect them year round, but we have to submit them to the company before the expiration dates to get our credit.

I am proud to be part of the Genoa Kingston School District and community because we ALL work together as a team!

We still have unclaimed fundraiser products... If you are missing items could you please call Heather at 779-382-0158. These items were online orders that didn't have a childs name on them.

Contact us if you have any questions or needs.

Coca Cola has a program going now that if you enter a 12pk code you can pick a 'bonus' bubble and possibly earn extra points! AND enter any Sprite Code and you have to option (I hope you say yes!) to enter GKMS (GK PTO) into a school parks contest. The entry will cost you NOTHING, but could HELP the schools a ton! http://www.mycokerewards.com/
