Hello Pierce community --

The final totals for the Pierce Auunual Fund Drive are in and we did very well:

• Amount Raised: $13,675
• Number of Families that donated: 95

Although we fell a little short of our overall goal, this is an excellent showing! We raised a significant amount of money during tough economic times and we increased the overall number of donors from years passed. Thank you!

You can trust that all the donations will be put to good use by the PTO and directly benefit our childrens' learning experience at Pierce. Thanks again - your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Best regards & Happy 2009 --

Deb Heffan, Eileen Regis, Charlie Walsh
The PTO co-chairs

P.S. We still have a lot more to raise to meet our PTO operating budget! So now we'll turn our attention to the Pierce Auction & Cocktail Party, scheduled for Saturday May 2nd. Look for more details in the coming weeks as well as ways for you to get involved.
