Spaghetti Dinner and Raffle

Dear Parents,

As you know we have just begun our 2nd and final major fundraiser for Dodd Elementary PTA, our annual Spaghetti dinner and raffle. Your child was sent home with one sheet of raffle tickets for a chance to win an Apple Ipad 2 or one of our other many prizes donated by our vendors. All funds brought in from this fundraiser will go directly back to Dodd Elementary to help fund Technology, Green Team, Field Day, and much much more. The top 6 sellers of the raffle tickets will get a LIMO ride and luch with Mr. Evans and Ms. Duvall. Also, the students who sell 2 or more sheets of raffle tickets (14 or more tickets) will get thier field day shirt paid for by the PTA. (As always, Field day shirts will be optional to purchase) You or your child may pick up additional raffle tickets in the school office. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

From the Desk of the President ...

Wow! What a great first couple of weeks. PTA has been super busy getting ready for our Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of great students) program as well as our annual Fall Carnival and Silent Auction. Due to the success of our fundraisers last year, PTA was able to provide 3 smart boards for our school. We are hoping that this year will be as big of a success. For those of you who do not know, PTA usually has 2 main fundraisers; the Carnival/Silent Auction and Spaghetti Dinner/Raffle. We use family based fundraisers instead of catalog sales because we think it is more fun to spend time with your family. All profits from these fundraisers go directly back to the school to help fund programs such as Watch D.O.G.S., the 4th grade Green Team, School assemblies, as well as helping to make purchases to upgrade our school, and many more things. Please be looking for volunteer forms coming home to help with our Carnival. This fundraiser cannot be a success without the help of our volunteers. We need at least 142 volunteers to make this night a success! If you have questions or concerns or if you want to help with something but have not been asked to please don’t hesitate to email.
