Evans Elementary PTO Yard Sale Success

We have started off the year in an amazing way!!

Last weekend we hosted our first EES Yard Sale. I thought we would be doing really great with $600 (if we were really lucky). WOW!!! Was I wrong!!

We raised $1,078 between the Yard Sale and Bake Sale. All proceeds are going directly to our classrooms for some much needed supplies. What an incredible event. We had a great group of volunteers helping with Yard Sale.

Thank you to: Amy Lami, Marlene Knox, Amanda Mitchell, Brandy Silas, Mike and Linda Brill, Jenny Nadkarni, Mary Dickey, Nancy Brown, Chasity and David Diggs, Judy and April Bacigalupo, Dawn Kozlowski, Mary Nell Johnston, Kristi Marchman, Donna Frick, Pat Goolsby, Jill Coleman, Terry Hale and all the teachers and families that donated their great merchandise!!

What an outpouring we had. I believe we have ourselves a tradition!!
