8th Grade Trash Bag Fundraiser
Back by popular demand, the 8th grade class is selling heavy-duty trash bags from Frontier Bags, Inc. These are high quality bags suitable in size and strength for your household and yard work needs. They are much thicker and more durable than Hefty bags. 

Three sizes of bags available at only $12.50 per roll.

Blue	Yellow	White
55 gallon (super-size)	39 gallon (yard-size)	15 gallon (tall kitchen)
16 bags per roll	25 bags per roll	65 bags per roll

Place your orders through any 8th grade student or by contacting Angi Martin at [email protected] or (405) 313-6262. Payment, via cash or check made out to CSSE 8th Grade, is due upon ordering. Orders received through September 15th will be delivered in early October. Please note that 1 case of bags (10 rolls) weighs approximately 50 pounds. 
This fundraiser helps the 8th grade class raise money to attend Camp Classen and for a gift given to the parish or school at the end of the year. These bags are wonderful to have at home and your office. Buy them for your relatives, neighbors, and co-workers! 
We appreciate your continued support with this annual fundraiser!
