Summer Fun Paddle Party
Beat the summer heat with a night of awesome prizes and fun with your friends! Our Summer Fun Paddle Party/Quarter Auction will feature a variety of gift baskets, prizes, gift cards, and more that you can win for as little as 25 cents! Join us on Friday, July 28th @ 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:00.
Admission price of $5 includes one paddle, and additional paddles may be purchased for $2 each. Most auction items have a 25 cent bid, but a few more expensive prizes may have 50 cent minimum bids.
Tickets are available in advance from St. Francis School or church offices, and tickets are also available at the door. You can also purchase tickets online at this link: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/ce892872-e457-4225-b027-e6a06a1f912b
Bidding is optional for all items. You can bid more for prizes that you really want, or choose to opt out of bidding for things you aren’t interested in. The more you bid, the better chance you have to win.
Guests are welcome to bring their own drinks and snacks. Adult beverages are permitted, so please be responsible. Make it a couples’ night out, a fun date night, or a Mom’s night out without the kids! This event is for adults only – no children please.

PTO Fundraisers
Our PTO provides many educational and fun activities for our students and supports our teachers to help them provide the very best for their classes. To secure the funding for this, the PTO raises money through several events.
Dine-Out Nights
Approximately four times per year, the PTO invites everyone to “dine out” at a selected area restaurant. In turn, that restaurant donates a portion of everyone’s total bill back to the PTO. In the past, Buck’s Pizza, Mabel’s, Burger King, and Pizza Hut have all generously participated in these events.
