PIMA Fundraising
Poinsettias and Yankee Candles
 
Do you plan to purchase poinsettia plants this season?  Please consider supporting our 600+ band and orchestra musicians by purchasing them from PIMA.  The red premium poinsettias are lush and 15" tall wrapped in gold foil.  They are locally supplied through Phillip's Flowers in LaGrange Park.   They only cost $20 and make great gifts! 
For an order form to send in with payment to Park Jr. High attn PIMA,  click here.
 
Along with the poinsettias, our 7th and 8th grade band and orchestra members will be selling Yankee Candle items on-line to help pay for their spring trip to Louisville, KY! Looking for a secret santa gift or stocking stuffers?  All orders are web only and will be delivered directly to the purchaser.  Go to  www.yankeecandlefundraising.com and place your order under GROUP #999985204 (PIMA).  If you know of a band/orchestra student going on the trip you'd like to support,  confirm with them first that they are going, and then add their name in the Seller Name field so they get credit.
