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:

Do You GoodSearch?

Do you search for stuff online? How about shop online? Have you downloaded the new PRCP custom toolbar for GoodSearch/Goodshop yet? It is the easiest way to remind yourself to use GoodSearch when online searching and/or shopping. This handy toolbar installs into your browser and is powered by Yahoo for reliable search results. It has been tested and is completely safe. Since it is custom-built PRCP is already selected as your charity of choice.

The really neat part of having the toolbar installed is that GoodShop detects and displays those participating merchants and lists the exact percentage donation any purchase will earn, not to mention shows available coupons. Effortless, almost like free money. Download it now!

Scholastic Book Club

This year we earn $3 for each order placed online toward books for our classrooms! That adds up fast and makes a huge impact on our entire school.

To order online, go to: www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. You will need to register the first time with a personal username and password. Then on the next screen you will be asked for the child’s name and the PRCP code: GPY23 (Johna Debellis will show as the teacher for all of the classes). That code allows for our school to receive credit for the books you order and for them to be delivered to the school. You can pay online via debit or credit card, AND if you use GoodSearch/GoodShop you can double dip and earn even more money for PRCP. GoodShop donates 3.5% of all purchases at scholastic.com to our school.
