Fall fund drive shows steady progress toward goals

A mighty big THANK YOU to all who have already contributed to our annual fall fund drive, Make a Mighty Difference. In just the first month we've raised more than $3,200 -- almost 1/3 of our financial goal!

We seek to raise $10,000 and 250 volunteer hours by November 1, 2013.

We are hoping for 100% participation among our school families, including both financial donations and commitment of volunteer hours. As you consider your family's contribution, keep in mind that all funds will go directly to our school for a wide variety of PTO projects and all volunteer hours will support projects that directly benefit our students.

Lucas PTO Makes a Mighty Difference by funding:

• Technology - Computers, Smart Boards, I-Touch
• Enrichment - Field Trips, Visiting Authors, School of the Wild
• Outdoor Educational Playscape - Outdoor classroom space, nature based play, prairie pocket, school garden, playground equipment
• Family Activities - DEED events, family supper, free family nights at Mercer, Fun Nigh
