Operation: Rescue Recess
W-G Friends & Families… We Need Your Help!
Every September, the Woodward-Granger ELC & Elementary PTO hosts an annual fundraiser. This year, our fundraising efforts are directed at giving the playgrounds at both buildings (ELC & Elementary) a refresh - aka Operation: Rescue Recess! A few older items need replacing, groundwork is needed to eliminate some non-usable 'muddy' areas, and new interactive equipment and games can be installed.
Mr. Brummond had to pucker up to smooch a pig in 2023, when we smashed our $40,000 goal by raising over $43,000!
Our 2024 goal is to raise $45,000!
If we hit our goal this year, Principal Truitt and Principal Brummond will turn into an inflatable dinosaur for the day!
Our students can win fun prizes for their hard work and no matter how much we raise, we all celebrate with a Fun Run on Friday, September 27, 2024.
💰 RAISE DONATIONS THE EASY WAY - ONLINE! 💰
With over 625 students, that means each student needs to raise only $72… and this year it couldn’t be easier. Our fundraiser is strictly donation-based. No selling wrapping paper, cookies or subscriptions (which also means no follow-up needed from our busy parents).
