Pleasant Lake Elementary Pizza Kit Fundraiser
Dear Pleasant Lake Elementary Families,
It's time for our 1st Fundraiser. PLE PTA wanted this 1st fundraiser to be geared towards family time and the best time to do that is at dinner!
It’s pizza time! Starting today and for the next 4 weeks, we’re selling Pizza Kits to raise money so we can keep putting those smiles on our children’s faces. We may not be face to face right now and will not be doing the normal school year activities but we are doing our best to think outside the box. To reach our goal and be successful, we need everyone’s help. It’s super easy to join the fun!
To get started follow this link Registration to create your very own Seller page. You can customize your page, upload a video, create an avatar, and watch how many pizza kits you’ve sold. You’ll get your own special link to send to your friends and family so they can buy delicious pizza kits and support our fundraiser.
Pizza Kits will be delivered directly to their home by FedEx, so send the link to your out of state family and friends, too. Kits will be packaged with 2 reusable freezer packs and ship frozen and arrive either fully frozen or partially frozen. They can go directly in the freezer again when you receive them. You can even post your Seller link on your social media pages. Parents, this is where you come in. Your child has to register under your email. They will not be eligible for prizes under their student emails. Pizza kits can be shipped to anyone in the Lower 48 states. Cannot be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii.
We will have 3 tiers of prizes. But 1st we need to sell 250 pizza kits, that will be a simple task for PLE.
- Tier 1: Sell 5 pizza kits and get entered into a drawing to win a $10 Amazon Gift Card
- Tier 2: Sell 10 pizza kits and get entered into a drawing to win a $25 Amazon Gift Card
- Tier 3: Sell 25 pizza kits and get entered into a drawing to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card!!!
The more kits we sell the more prizes we can give away! 250 kits is just our goal. If we can double that number and sell 500 kits not only will we double our prize amounts but also do multiple name drawings for each tier!
Prizes will be awarded after the Holiday break. Don’t forget to buy some for yourself!
Thank you,
Dan Monkman, Pleasant Lake Elementary PTA President

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL AND CHILDREN
Dear Pleasant Lake Elementary Parents,
Your PTA needs you now more than ever! Your membership will help with so many great opportunities for our children. Below are a list of just a few amazing things your membership dues will provide our children:
- Literacy supplies and books
- Student supplies that are sent home with children during remote learning
- Technology and online instructional resources
- Virtual events
- Grants & scholarships to assist students and teachers with field trips, including virtual field trips
- Authors and presenters visit, including virtual visits
- The Leader in Me Program
In addition to all that we provide for our children, this year we will have the opportunity to host virtual events for our community. Your PTA Board has been brainstorming some fantastic ideas for fundraising and activities we would normally do in person. The 1st 50 people to sign up for a membership will get an exclusive offer for our 1st virtual event.
Lastly, you may think with school being held remotely that we not need your support but it is the exact opposite. So many in our school community need support more than ever during this pandemic. Please become a PTA Member and sign up for the programs below. It’s an easy process that will take minutes but go a long way in supporting our children, parents and staff.
Please click on the link below to join. Remember that your membership does not require you to volunteer at any events and/or fundraisers. Only one parent/member per household needs to register with the PLE PTA.
