Bylaws of Kenwood HUG-PTO
Adopted February 3, 2016
BOX TOPS
for Education
How it works:
1. Find Box Tops on hundreds of products.
2. Clip Box Tops from each package.
3. Send Box Tops to school with your child in an envelope or plastic zip bag.
4. Box Tops are sent in by a parent volunteer and the Kenwood HUG-PTO receives 10-cents each back as a donation!
Ten cents may not sound like a lot, but with appx. 250 students and 40+ staff members, it adds up fast!
DETROIT SPORTS
Most years, we partner with a major Detroit sports team for a super, fun night out at a game and a portion of our ticket sales are donated back to our HUG-PTO from the sports organization.
FUN RUN
While our annual Fun Run cannot occur this Fall 2020, we are looking forward to continuing this tradition in Spring 2021 when it is safe for us all to be together again. The Fun Run is always a great time for the students, parents and staff. All students and staff participate and parents, family members and community neighbors are welcome to join in the fun, too! By providing a monetary gift, this fundraiser is a successful and healthy blast for everyone.
KENWOOD KRAWL
On the first Saturday of June, the community comes together for a fantastically fun pub crawl throughout Downtown Clawson! This event is a blast as Kenwood Kid supporters enjoy food/drink specials, silent auction, raffle and music to each year's unique theme -- 2021 will take us back to the 1960s! So, mark your calendars for Saturday, June 12, 2021!
FUNDRAISING
KROGER
Community Rewards
Enroll in Kroger's Community Rewards and indicate Kenwood Elementary School as your organization of choice. A portion of your spending will be donated back to Kenwood each quarter!
Please note that you must re-enroll annually! If you are already enrolled, re-enrollment begins on April 1st. You may enroll at any time, though!
MEIJER
Community Rewards
Meijer also donates a portion of your spending back to Kenwood! You must enroll in their program and can pay via cash or a Meijer debit or credit card.
POPCORN FRIDAYS
On a scheduled Friday during most months, students and staff may purchase bags of freshly popped popcorn (popped that morning) for only 50-cents each! Popcorn is delivered to students at the end of the day to bring home and enjoy.
This is a very long tradition dating back more than 30 years at Kenwood and we are looking forward to continuing it as soon as it is safe to do so (post-COVID-19 pandemic).
SCRIP
Kenwood Enrollment Code: A7FAE9E421L44
Purchase gift cards that you already buy from a local store for a percentage of your amount to be donated back to Kenwood. The reason for the effectiveness of SCRIP is simple: families generate money through purchases they would make anyway - groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, gasoline!
There are three options to order:
1) ORDER FORM - these are sent home each ordering cycle (watch for future dates); complete the form and send it back to school with your child and a check made payable to "Kenwood HUG-PTO" for the full amount of your order.
2) ONLINE at www.shopwithscrip.com and set up a "Presto Pay Account" that you set up; or
3) ONLINE at www.shopwithscrip.com and send a check made payable to "Kenwood HUG-PTO" for the full amount of your order you placed online.
TOYOLOGY
We are thrilled to announce that Toyology, the amazing toy and gift shops, is our newest shopping rewards partner. Shop at any of the four Toyology locations (Royal Oak, West Bloomfield, Rochester Hills or Howell), mention you are shopping to benefit Kenwood Elementary School, and Toyology will donate 10% of your purchase back to our Kenwood HUG-PTO!!*
*cannot be combined with any other offers (i.e., coupons not applicable for purchase to qualify for donation)
RESTAURANT NIGHTS
Watch for information on special nights where local restaurants host Kenwood families, friends and community neighbors! Present a special flyer and a percentage of your total bill will be donated by the restaurant back to Kenwood. Click HERE for the dedicated Dine to Donate page.

FINANCES
ANNUAL BUDGET
Each June, the new leadership of the Kenwood HUG-PTO meets with the Principal to review the prior year's Budget and prepare a proposed Budget for the upcoming school year.
This proposed Budget is then discussed at the first HUG-PTO general membership meeting in September and voted on for approval to use as a guide for fundraising needs and expense requirements for that school year.
