Challenge School PTCO
News
Wolf Drive - Our spring fundraiser has a $45,000 goal to support our Challenge school teacher assistant staff. This event will raffle and auction off a variety of experiences, gift cards, activities and more. Do you work for a company that can donate, or would you personally be willing to donate an item or an experience that could be great for a raffle or an auction prize? For instance you could donate an experience such as a mountain house for a weekend, tickets to a game or a gift basket from a store, etc. If you answered yes to the question above and or have further clarifying questions in this regard, then please contact Amy Henry at ptcochallenge@gmail.com for next steps and a response to your questions.
Girl Scout Cookies - Our Girl Scouts are selling cookies again this year! If you are interested in supporting the troop with a cookie purchase or donation, please visit https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop65742-512?fpkp=1 to place an order. The girls are happy to deliver in person, or you can choose to have the cookies shipped. Please note, the only way to purchase the new Raspberry Rally this year is through an online purchase. If you have any questions, contact Krista at kwobot@gmail.com. The Scouts appreciate your support!
