PERRITT FUNDRAISER IN LIEU OF ANNUAL CHILI SUPPER
Hello Perritt Family!!
The last 12 months have been tough for everyone. Including planning the Annual Chili Supper, we are sad to see it go for now.
BUT.....We are happy to announce this years Perritt Primary PTC fundraiser!
AND....You still get a night off from kitchen duty (and who doesn’t love that) and you get to give back to four (4) amazing businesses that have faithfully supported our community and the Chili Supper and to those precious Kindergarten - 2nd graders at Perritt Primary now and in the future!!
Each child should have received a flier and order form in their Communication Folder.
All orders/donations must be turned into at school by March 16th.
We plan to distribute the cards the week of March 29th (more details to come).
If you have any questions, let us know!
