Fall Festival Raffle Baskets

The PTO will again be raffling off fun, themed raffle baskets as an addition to the Fall Festival! This was a great success last year with so many fantastic baskets thanks to all of our amazing families!


Below you can find a sign up genius with a list of suggested items. There are also “your choice” spaces included if you would like to send an item not listed. Gift cards to include in the basket or purchase items are also welcomed. If you own a business and would like to contribute for a separate basket that is also an option that is greatly appreciated!


Please send labeled items in with your kiddo or drop at the school by Monday, October 19th in preparation of the Fall Festival that Friday.


Raffle tickets will be available for only $1/each (cash or venmo) at the Fall Festival and winners will be announced that night.
