-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second is the Valle Fair this Saturday - messages have been sent already, but here is a more detailed explanation of the needs for volunteers and why this is such a huge fundraiser for Parkway School. Please share with anyone not receiving PTO emails. Valle Fair Parking - $5K potential for Parkway School You may have seen notes and emails about the volunteer request for the Valle Country Fair this Saturday. For everyone who is not familiar with the needs and benefits of this event, please let me offer some background information and details. What’s the big deal? Our school has a long-standing tradition of supplementing the PTO funds by parking cars at the Valle Fair. It is gracious amount of money – potential of $5,000 - earned with little prep and very little investment of money – it just takes TIME of VOLUNTEERS, on ONE to TWO days!! It’s fairly simple and several other schools would jump at the chance to take this fundraiser, so I’m told. Many families are away for sports tournaments or family obligations – so, any and all available volunteers are needed and appreciated. If you are in the area this Saturday with no plans or plans that are flexible, please consider volunteering. There is NO SELLING! The more successful we are with this event may mean we don’t have to sell other items as fundraisers. How does PTO use the money earned? Here is an overview of some of the big ticket items the PTO supports or has supported in the past:
You can see $5,000 can go a long way!! So, please make sure your friends are aware of this opportunity. Forward this email along to anyone who may not be on the PTO listserv. What’s Involved? Smiling and directing cars! You’ll be part of the one of the biggest visitor events in the High Country http://www.vallecountryfair.org/ There are TWO opportunities to help.
Before or after your shift, you can enjoy the entertainment, craft shopping (or admiring), or ALL the delicious food (can we say roasted corn!). High school age kids are capable and qualified to help also – make it a family affair if that works for you. Please help – sign up and/or spread the word! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d4eaaa928a6fb6-valle Deanne Smith, PTO Volunteer Coordinator (parent to Carson and Palmer, 4th and 5th grade, respectively) 828-719-7023/[email protected] Comments are closed.
