Calendar Raffle Month!


April Is Calendar Raffle Month at Pelham School

The Pelham PTO is running a calendar raffle during the month of April so we are asking families to help us sell tickets  to friends, family and co-workers during the month of March.  Green raffle calendars  and directions have been sent home with your child today so please check their backpack.  


Here’s how the Calendar Raffle works:

·  Every day during the month of April there will be a drawing for a different prize donated by a local artist or business.
·  Prizes valued at $20 or more include restaurant gift certificates, a local farm share, handmade crafts, and theater tickets, to name just a few.
·  The Calendars, which are designed to show the prize being offered each day, will be sold for $5 each and will afford the purchaser 30 chances to win over the course of the month. 
·  Winners will be contacted by phone and email on the day of each drawing; winners must come to Pelham School to pick-up their prize.
·  We hope to sell at least 500 tickets. All income will be used by the PTO to support Pelham School.

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Sell at least 10 Calendar Raffle tickets to family, friends and co-workers. The Calendars cost $5 each and, as noted above, afford the purchaser 30 chances to win a bunch of fabulous prizes donated by local businesses and artists.
  • Leave the purchaser with the Calendar and return the completed Raffle tickets to your child’s classroom teacher or in the main office at Pelham School (which can be torn off from the bottom of the Calendar -- be sure to note your name in the seller line) and payments (cash or checks made payable to Pelham PTO by Friday, March 28th
  • If you sell all 10 Calendars, please feel free to make more copies or stop in the office nor Pelham Library to pick-up more!
