Chili Cook Off Results and Thanks

  • Posted on October 3, 2011 at 10:25 pm

The PRCP Chili Cook Off and Ice Cream Social was a great success thanks to the hard work of our families – it truly was a Cooperative effort!  From the families who participated in the chili cooking to the food donators, ice cream scoopers and extra hands setting up and cleaning up everyone really came together to make it happen.  Without the time, effort and energy of all of you it would not have been possible.  THANK YOU!

Each entry was delicious and unique – not an easy choice.  But no one went home hungry!  Congratulations to the winners of the day:

1st Place: Big Al’s Green Chili made by the Schneider Family

2nd Place: Daddy’s Birthday Chili made by the Becker Family

3rd Place: Mamacita’s Chili made by the Brown/Alvarez Family

Coloring Contest: Adam Grapentine & Skylar Ott

A great day was had by all – and we netted just under $2200 profit!  Our projections included a bit higher enrollment so we have to make adjustments, but the Silent Auction and Raffle Ticket sales provided strong support to the event.  So a big thank you to everyone’s participation in rounding up donations and purchasing items and tickets.  Again, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Mandatory Parent Meeting: Thursday, March 10, 6:30pm

  • Posted on March 3, 2011 at 9:30 pm

Just a reminder that there is a MANDATORY parent meeting coming up! It is scheduled for Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. There are a number of important issues that will be discussed so it is important that we see all of you there!

At the meeting we will be voting to approve the bylaws for the year. Please review them prior to the meeting so you will be prepared to approve them. They are posted at the school and were sent out this week via email. If you have any questions regarding the bylaws, please contact any member of the Board of Directors or Mary Cramer.

Our Spring Fundraiser will be one of the main discussion points at the parent meeting. Lots of important information will be given out so be sure to be there. We have decided to have a Spring Picnic! This event is set for Saturday, May 14, 2011. At the parent meeting you will be given information on what is required of you as well as being able to sign up for your working shift. Working shifts will vary from providing bake sale or auction items to working at the event to assisting with set up/clean up. Parents will be allowed to sign up on a first come, first serve basis.

We will be implementing a new system for job sign up: when you arrive at the meeting and sign in, you will be given a number which will correspond to the order that you will be called to choose your job. We will start handing out numbers 10 minutes prior to the start of the meeting! Be assured that the Board of Directors has worked hard to keep all requirements for this fundraiser as simple as possible. Please direct any specific questions about this process or the fundraiser itself to Shannon Gann (cell: 471-3676, email: ag1130@wildblue.net, or MWF Mrs. Burrows’ class)

We will also be discussing registration for next year so be sure not to miss this meeting!

See’s Candy Fundraiser Success

Thanks so much to all of the families that participated in the See’s Candy Valentines fundraiser. The school received $388.80 total profit from our excellent efforts in selling 125 boxes of candy. Special congrats goes to the top 3 selling families: the Ventura’s, the Jaureguay’s and the Kobayashi’s.

Look for the Easter See’s Candy fundraiser info in your boxes in a few weeks. Again this will not be a mandatory fundraiser but the greater our participation, the greater our rewards!

This Little Piggie Ate ALOT of Tri Tip

  • Posted on September 29, 2010 at 9:12 pm

Whew! We did it – our first This Little Piggy Ate Tri-Tip BBQ was a success! Thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, parents, and teachers we pulled it off… with the grand net profit totalling $5900 – which is $2400 over projection!!

Everyone deserves a thank you but here are a few that went above and beyond:

  • Kohl’s Cares – great volunteers
  • Vons – yummy bread
  • Trumpet Vine Catering– big freezer and chaffing dishes
  • Taylor Rental – bargain deal for the tables and chairs
  • Ron Boyte, Shannon Gann’s father, who seasoned and cooked the tri-tip
  • Jean Louis Jaureguy – none of the BBQ would be possible without his BBQ and time on the grill
  • The Prickett family and their firefighter buddies – who donated their raffle money right back to PRCP
  • Our auction committee who worked all week packing, organizing, and sorting – lots of hours put in by those parents
  • The prep crew, who baked, heated, sliced, and served in triple digit heat
  • Everyone who contributed to the Bake Sale for doing such a fantastic job making everything look yummy

And let’s hear it for our Fundraising Coordinator, Wendy Woodard, who now knows every deal to be had, what a chaffing dish is, and how many people it takes to cook bread and beans in a really small kitchen!

We also want to thank all of our generous sponsors whose donated items made the silent auction & “Buy It Now” such a huge success. We couldn’t have done it without them:
