🚨 VIP message heading into this long (long) holiday weekend 🚨

Do you know why Write-A-Check exists? No wrapping paper you don't need. No magazine subscriptions you'll forget about. No online fundraising links to share. Just... write a check (or, if you lost your checkbook years ago...push that PushCoin button!)

Here's the deal: 100% of what you give goes straight back to our kids. Not "most of it after the fundraising company takes their cut." ALL of it. It helps fund classroom supplies, staff appreciation, 8th grade celebration week, the Thunder Bucks Store, and more good stuff for our Thunder crew.

💰 Bonus: ask your employer if they match donations. Free money for the PTO because you filled out a form? Yes please.

How to give:
✅ Check payable to "Thompson PTO" with WAC in the memo
✅ Or scan the QR code and pay online via PushCoin (no stamps, no envelopes, no finding that checkbook)

Skip the sales pitch, skip the fundraiser guilt spiral — just help us take care of our Thunder. 🌩️
