PEDP Newsletter April 2021

A big WELCOME BACK to all of our students now that Peirce is going back to 5 days a week.  We know this is a time of transition for everyone and we will be sensitive to that as we plan for the month ahead.
 
PEDP Monthly Theme
Our theme for April is Going Green and the emphasis will be on taking care of our planet.  Topics may include recycling, composting, upcycling, reducing waste and conservation.
Fundraising
This is a big fundraising month.  While fundraising is part of the fiber of a nonprofit, we do realize it is a big “ask” right now.  We hope that you will contribute in any way you can – buying a raffle ticket, bidding on an auction item, attending Trivia Night – it all helps to support and sustain PEDP.  We are truly grateful for each and every contribution!
Raffle
The PEDP raffle that was held at Trivia Night in the past will be held the week of April 5-9 as a separate event.  Look for the PEDP Raffle table out in front of the school at the beginning and end of the school day, or buy your tickets at pick-up from PEDP.   Four great prizes:
  • An old-fashioned gumball machine, loaded with M&Ms
  • $200 in lottery tickets in the shape of a  horseshoe (could this be your lucky day?)
  • A sterling silver cuff bracelet, hand-forged by Michele Leonard from BSilverbangles
  • A “Takeout Trove” of 6 gift cards totally $140 to local restaurants
Tickets are $5 a piece or 5 tickets for $20. Stop by the table, say “hello” to a PEDP staff or Board member, and try your luck!

Family Trivia Night 

Purchase your tickets now with a credit card: Trivia Night Fundraiser Tickets . Payments can also be made by cash or check and delivered to PEDP prior to the event.

PEDP/PTO Online Auction

The online auction features over 60 items and bidding is easy! It takes less than a minute to register as a new bidder. Access the auction site via this URL:
