15 Days Left!

We were incredibly busy on Thursday and Friday of last week, getting ready for Relay for Life. On Thursday, we baked brownies for Family Movie Night and made some phone calls to wrap up more fundraising plans. A very cool thing that happened tonight was a lady calling to ask if she could donate a basket to the Relay for Life Silent "Auction" Raffle. Of course, we said YES!

On Friday, we were a little disappointed that we didn't pack the auditorium for Family Movie Night, but everyone who came said they had a lot of fun, and we had fun, too. We are definitely planning to hold this event again. Here's a little slideshow of what we were up to this week:

Gearing Up for Relay for Life!



Wow. We have been so busy getting ready for next week's Family Movie Night, one of our fundraisers to raise money for our Relay Team. On Friday, we're showing 101 Dalmations at the middle school auditorium. We'll be selling concessions, and Baytek Games is loaning us an arcade game to help add to our proceeds from the night. (Thanks, Baytek!) The Difference Makers are really excited and a little nervous; we hope a lot of people come!

We're also having a raffle at school (in April) for all kinds of prizes, including...


    • Figaro’s Pizza lunch for a student and 7 friends (Thank you, Figaro’s!)
    • Wii/Gamer lunch activity for 6 students
    • Choose-your-own lunch color pass (2 per grade)
    • Inside-recess passes for one day (2 per grade)
    • Carrot Tree gift certificate (Thank you, Carrot Tree!)
    • Two Marcus Movie passes! (Thanks, Mrs. Martin!)
    • PCMS Clothing prizes (Thank you. PCMS School Store!)
    • Mary Kay Mothers Day gift baskets (Thanks, Mrs. DeBoth!)
    • and more!


Because Difference Makers always go all out, we're also starting to plan a talent show at the middle school in May. We're going to invite PCMS families (students and teachers) to share their talents in a sure-to-be-entertaining evening!

So far, we've raised about $400 towards our goal of $5000, but as you can see, there's lots of potential if we work hard. Wish us luck!
