We did not actively raise much money this year as there is a healthy reserve, though the PTO did raise some money with the following:

Fruit Center School Give Back Week–  Thank you to the Fruit Center and all those that shopped during the Give Back week. The Fruit Center generously donated $905 to the PTO!
Stop and Shop A-Plus Rewards  – Thank you to all who registered and shopped at Stop and Shop. We just received a check for $906!
Hayward Photography – Thank you to Hayward for donating a portion of portrait sales to Pierce.  The total received was $4301.
School Supply Orders –  Families ordered school supplies and due to bulk purchases and a lot of volunteer effort, the PTO realized $3000 from this fundraiser. It’s a win/win – families get the convenience and fair price of the package and the PTO is able to support school activities with the funds.

The Pierce PTO supported faculty, staff & students in many ways this past year.  Here are some of the ways your generosity enhanced Pierce:
• The 7th grade took a trip to see The Outsiders – $2705
