Raffle baskets are a BIG part of our supper. The community members, families and supper attendees love seeing the wide array of items that get donated every year for these baskets. This year the 4th grade class is going to spearhead the basket donations. We encourage all 4th grade students and any other WES and TPVS families who can contribute something for these baskets, please do.

Our goal is to be able to put together no less than 7 baskets, but in the past, we have had as many as 22 baskets to raffle off! Some of the themed baskets being kitchen items, Vermont products, family game night, gardening, a night out on the town, etc. Donation items can be turned into the school. Donation box locations: outside each of the 4 th grade classrooms along with a box by rainbow chair out front of WES. At TPVS the donation box is in the office.

We ask that all donations be turned into classrooms by September 29 th . If you would rather hand deliver your donations, please contact Donna Lombard, donna.taylorc@gmail.com All students (pre-k through 6 th ) will be coming home with 10 raffle tickets to sell. 1 ticket=$1, just the buyer’s name and phone number needs to be on the back of ticket.

Person does NOT need to be present to win a basket. This is a great way for students to ask community members to help support their school. A collection box will be in the office at both WES & TPVS to turn in sold and unsold tickets along with money. If you need more tickets, please let the office know and they will get you more.

2023 Harvest Supper Chair, Dana Kaye- 06dana.kaye10@gmail.com

The PTO is gearing up to host our first fundraising event for the year!  If you are new to the community, this is the 46th year of the Harvest Supper that is held Saturday October 7th at TPVS gym with 3 seatings; 5pm, 6:15pm, 7:30pm, serving over 350 meals.  It is a traditional sit-down style Thanksgiving meal with turkey, all the fixings, and pies and bread for dessert.  It is a great community event where everyone of all ages pitches in and helps make this fundraiser a huge success.  This is the first year the Harvest Supper has returned since the start of Covid.

There are many opportunities to help with this fundraiser and every family is strongly encouraged to if able.  From cooking turkeys, making breads & pies, mashing potatoes, donating cut flowers or veggies, or helping serve food the night of the supper, there is so much to do!

Raffle baskets are also a big part of our supper.  Families donate items to put into the baskets and our committee puts the baskets together.  The night of the supper winners are picked from the sold raffle tickets at each supper.  In the past we have been able to put together 7 baskets, with some themed baskets being: kitchen, Vermont products, family game night, gardening, etc.  

There will be more information coming out very soon as to how to sign up to volunteer and make reservations for the event.  If you would like to be a chair or co-chair on any of our sub-committees, feel free to reach out, we are always looking for more leaders to help pull off this big, community event.

Thanks again for your support.  We look forward to a fun and successful evening!  Please feel free to contact one of the following co-chairs with any questions.
