Fundraising

PARENTS-PLEASE READ THIS!

The PVMS PTO Raffle and Homeroom Baskets:

•  In lieu of door-to-door selling, we hold a Raffle (Formerly called the Chinese Auction).

• We solicit prizes from businesses, organizations, and our families.

• Each child in the Middle School is asked to participate by donating to a homeroom basket.

• The theme for the basket is chosen by the homeroom students, and then each student is asked to bring

 in a new item that fits into that theme.

• The student may also choose to bring a monetary donation to their homeroom teacher, and the

homeroom teacher will use the funds to “top” off the basket.

•  In the past few years, we have had more and more students who do not participate in this basket

    project.

•  We hope that you, as parents, realize what your donation of a few dollars, or having your child pick out        an item for the basket, contributes to the event (and teaches your child about the importance of teamwork and volunteering).

•  This event began in 2004 and has raised thousands of dollars. The funds raised have all gone back into  the Middle School.
