CURRENT PTO ACTIVITIES

The PTO Lottery Fundraiser has begun!!! Look for the envelope in your students backpack mail for all the information and start selling!! For the past 4 years, the lottery fundraiser has raised around $17,000 each year. Let's do it again!

***Each student will receive a pack of 10 lottery tickets. Each ticket costs $10, and we ask that students and parents work together to sell as many lottery tickets as you can.

***Turn in your envelopes with ticket stubs and payment by Friday, October 12.

***Monthly drawings consist of $25, $50, and $100 prizes, and a bonus $500 prize in December!

***This is the only big fundraiser we do. We have had so much fun with this fundraiser, and it’s super easy. No wrapping paper sales, no cookie dough selling, just 10 (or more!) tickets.

Proceeds have paid for activities and field trips for grades K-8, teacher classroom startup requests, upgraded classroom technology for both schools, and so much more!

***For more information, questions or requesting more tickets, please contact Angie Gunn at angiegunn27@hotmail.com or 847-507-0855. THANK YOU!
