Thank you to everyone that supported the PTA with our No Fuss Fundraiser this year! We raised $9,507!!

The class that raised the most money was VERY close, but the winner is....FIRST GRADE! CONGRATS!

1ST $1,806
5TH $1,781
6TH $1,510
4TH $1,405
2ND $1,105
KINDERGARTEN $1,100
3RD $750
NON GRADE SPECIFIC $50
My apologizes for any confusion when comparing the rankings I sent out on Sunday...clearly the time change was NOT working in my favor! I had a couple teachers listed in the wrong grade and it messed up the standings. I have triple checked these numbers now though.

The class that brought in the most money in each grade is....

Kindergarten - Roettger $370
1st - Dick $481 (just passed Cayea who had $475!)
2nd - McKeown $315
3rd - Zuidema $375
4th - Longhurts $475
5th - Kleiman $695
6th - May $880 (this class raised more money than all other classrooms in the school - way to go!!!)
Prizes will be awarded to the GRADE with the most money (1st) and the classrooms listed above will each get their own special prize!

Finally, we did our last raffle drawing and our winner is Huxley S!

Huxley S. and Taryn L. (our first winner) each won a $25 gift card to Freddy's! They'll be sent home with your students this week.

PES families...we still have quite a way to go to meet our goal of $20,000 for our fundraiser! We are at $4,421.

PLEASE help us by making your donation today! You may send in cash or check with your student, or donate online at https://providence.ptboard.com/formvw/store?store=2262

If we don't meet our goal, we may be forced to reduce or eliminate certain areas of our spending. This could mean cuts to grade level spending (field trips, reading resources, etc), cuts to specials (STEAM, art, special education, Chinese, etc), cuts to Staff Appreciation (the most important part of our school, who work tirelessly to ensure our kids are safe and healthy at school while providing a great education) and other important areas.

Please help us avoid this by making YOUR donation today!

02/26/2022

Is anyone available on Monday to make copies for Tuesday folders? We have a last minute flyer to send home.

02/24/2022

02/22/2022

Help support the Providence Elementary School and PJ Skidoos TODAY from 11 am - 9 pm! Be sure to mention the PES PTA and they'll donate 15% back to the PTA!

Request for "ballgowns"

Fairfax High School is doing “Into the Woods” for their spring musical. They are in need of “ballgowns” for the cast. Previously worn prom or bridesmaid dresses might work. Especially if they were of the “Cinderella” type. But they will take any style. If you, or someone you know, have any of these hanging around in closets, attics, basements, etc. and would like to donate them, they will gladly accept them. Especially if they are pink or mauve.

All donations of dresses will NOT be returned, as they may be altered/dyed, etc. to fit the scene and cast member.

Please contact Beth Donohue with any questions at [email protected]

Sorry for all the emails today. We were just told the Jersey Mike's in Fairfax will be closing tomorrow. We don't have any other details, but our fundraiser for February is not happening.

We will be partnering with PJ Skidoos on Tuesday, February 22nd instead, so keep an eye out for those emails (hopefully a normal amount and nothing excessive like today!).

Lo siento por todos los correos electrónicos de hoy. Nos acaban de decir que Jersey Mike's en Fairfax cerrará mañana. No tenemos más detalles, pero nuestra recaudación de fondos para febrero no se está llevando a cabo.

Nos asociaremos con PJ Skidoos el martes 22 de febrero, así que esté atento a esos correos electrónicos (¡con suerte una cantidad normal y nada excesivo como hoy!).
