Editor, The Times:

Thank you!  Thank You! The 2010/20101 school year has been a busy one for the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) at Raft River Elementary.  We would like to take this opportunity to let parents and our community know how much we have appreciated your support with our fundraising efforts.

Raft River PAC had had six fundraisers:  Mabel’s Labels, School Clothes, Christmas Cards, Poinsettas, Movie Night and Garden Plants.  With the proceeds of the fundraisers in addition to grant money, we were able to purchase or support the following:

• New volleyball nets

• Certification of Cross Country Ski Coaches from the high school

• Support of One-to-One Reading Program

• Purchase of two Smart Boards

• Anti-Bullying T-shirts

• Intermediate field trip to the Sagebrush Theatre

• Cross Country Ski Boots

• Jason Ohler Presentation

• Smart Board Clickers

• Video Conferencing

• Japanese Relief Fund Red Cross

• Bussing for field trips to local ski hill

• Dishwasher for the After School Care and Healthy Breakfast Programs

• Kindergarten Welcome meeting

• Supplemented year-end class field trips

• Purchase of new volleyballs

• Purchase of digital cameras

• Primary Water Fun Day

• And, a new mat for the small gym that is also used as the gymnastics rooms.

A special thank-you to Home Hardware for providing the soil for our Garden Plant fundraiser; to Karl deBruijn and School District 73 for the Smart Board Clickers; to Mr. Bowden, Mrs. Topolovec, Eileen Sedgwick and Judy Panko, and to all our volunteers!

We are always open to hearing new ideas for the school and for 2011 / 2012 we will be actively fundraising for a new playground for our intermediate students. Meetings are the second Tuesday of every month at Raft River Elementary but if you aren’t able to attend, please email your thoughts to:  raftriverpac@gmail.com.

Every child attending Raft River Elementary has felt the benefits of your support this past year and we are proud that our community is so supportive of our school. Thank you, Clearwater!
