2019 Armchair Fundraiser: Sit back and relax! This is our most chilled out / least labor intensive fundraiser. No need to be in a certain place at a certain time. There’s no selling, cooking, running, dancing, or changing out of pj pants involved! In fact, no human interaction is required!
This fundraiser is in lieu of sending students home with the task of selling door-to-door, collecting funds, and delivering goods. Please help us avoid that by supporting our PTA with your donation, and helping us achieve our goals to support our students and faculty. All of the money goes straight to the PTA.
Donations are used throughout the year for various items such as teacher grants, subsidizing field trips and event days (like 4th grade Colonial Day), International Night, and Field Day. The PTA also provides the school with the balance of remaining funds at the end of the school year. The big ticket item wishlist for RVES funding includes: new art room furniture, new library furniture, an updated news studio, technology, and instructional materials – especially relevant books for reading instruction.
