PTO ANNUAL APPEAL: SEVEN WEEKS DOWN
#piercepride
Raised to date: $49,250 (70%) of $70,000 goal
We need $20,000 during this final week to provide $160 of support to every child at Pierce. We are short of our important goal by 30% so PLEASE help the Annual Appeal reach its goal to support every child in every grade at Pierce by giving generously this week! It is important for us to come together as a community and give as much as we can to support our wonderful school! From field trips to classroom supplies, your tax deductible-donation will help us enrich the education of our children--tomorrow's leaders. We realize that there are many demands on your generosity but please include the school in your contributions this year, you won't regret it. Checks can be made out
to "Pierce PTO" and returned to the Appeal bin near the main office. You can also make a secure donation online at
http://www.pierceschoolbrookline.org.
Note: All contributions to the Pierce PTO are tax deductible and will be acknowledged with a receipt for tax purposes. The PTO's tax ID number is 35-2197562. Please also consider using your employer's matching grant program.
