If you go on over and check out VolunteerSpot at http://vols.pt/pfbsuu you can sign up, or you can choose to donate a goody to our bake sale. The carnival packets went out, and have all the information you need about the carnival. Included in the packet is great information on what the funds are used for throughout the school and enrichment programs! Our carnival is the school s biggest fundraiser, and it takes a lot of people to make it run smoothly, and to make sure the students have a great time. Thank you for all the donations for classroom baskets; the kids enjoy seeing them out for bidding at the auction. We hope you and your family come out and enjoy the carnival. The kids will have a great time! Crystal Pakalniskis, Volunteer Coordinator- lulucg79@yahoo.com

Papa John s in Fort Wayne, Huntington or New Haven will contribute 20% of your order to Perry Hill! Either order online and enter the code: PER- RYHILL or call 471-7272 and mention Perry Hill Elementary when ordering. Schoolkidz I know we don't want to think about next school year yet, when we haven't even had summer, let alone SPRING!!! Schoolkidz is a great and easy fundraiser for the school. It takes the pressure off of you going from store to store for those dreaded school supplies. You fill out one easy form, and the supplies arrive at your student s desk on Back to School Night in August. Look for the forms to be coming home with your child after spring break.
