Happy March! Spring Break is right around the corner, which means that we only have one quarter left in this school year! The days are flying by, and our last few months will be jam-packed with activities and events here at Trailwood! Remember to check out the PTA website and Facebook page for updates on all the upcoming events.

 

We’d like to extend a big thank you to everyone who contributed to our Happy Hour and Trivia Night last month! Whether you bid on and/or purchased an item, attended our event in person, volunteered in some capacity, made a donation, or spread the word about our event, you helped to make the night a huge success! While final numbers are still coming in, we raised around $40,000 (gross income)! WOW! These funds will help us continue to provide our students and staff with amazing opportunities at Trailwood. Thank you for your incredible generosity! 

 

Have a wonderful and safe Spring Break! I look forward to a spring filled with fun here at Trailwood! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Happy Hour and Trivia Night Thank You

As mentioned above, our annual fundraiser was once again a huge success, and we are so grateful for the support of our amazing Trailwood community! Not only did we raise some very important funds for our students, families and staff, we had so much fun doing it! Hats off to our amazing Trivia Night teams who rocked our movie-themed trivia! And, a big congrats to our winning Trivia Team: Deanna Ferrante, Don Dittmar, Erika Haas, Ty Haas, Katie Buckley, Joel Buckley, Ashlee Jack and David Jack!

 

We have SO MANY people to thank, so let’s get to it!

 

First of all, a big thank you goes out to our Trivia Night Planning Committee! They began planning this event last summer and devoted a great deal of time and energy into making this event a big success! This year’s committee consisted of Jen Pontier, Karen Badgett, Holly Davidson, Lindsay Weiss and Cara Peterson. Thank you for making this event possible!

 

We also received lots of help along the way from volunteers who gave of their time and talents in a variety of ways, especially Cheyenna Starkovich (classroom artwork), Heidi Saunders (classroom artwork), Matt Weiss (photography), Sarah Filipovits (marketing) and Brett Emert (event donations). And, we’d like to thank our many volunteers who helped us with set-up before the event and helped to make things run smoothly throughout the evening; it takes a village!

 

Next, we’d like to recognize our amazing auction sponsors! Please familiarize yourself with these awesome Trailwood families and their businesses! And, give them a “thank you” next time you see them!
