Elementary School PTO
Fund Raiser A Big Success
During the months of
October and November, the
Vanceboro Farm Life Elerrien-
tary PTO conducted its major
fund raiser for the year. Valley
Brook Farms Cookjes in
decorative containers were
sold by the many parents and
supporters of the PTO. At the
end of the selling period, a total
of nearly $25,0Q0.00 in cookies
had been spid. This will give
the PTO a profit of over
$8,000.00 to use for projects at
the school.
Students were awarded
points based on the number of
cookies sold. The points were
then converted into prizes. The
top prize of $100.00 was
awarded to Tracy Roach,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Milton Roach, for selling
$410.00 in cookies. Students
selling over $300.00 in cookies
are Leslie Mills, Jason Mayo
d Tony Hardy. Students
ling over $200.00 in cookies
ire Tammy Avery, Cindy
Taylor, Brandy Simpkins,
Snow White, Latrice Cobb,
Steven Toler, Mia Seabolt,
Debenee Dawson, Sherry
Roundtree, Scott Tyson,
Steven Dunn, Thomas Roach,
Elijah Pugh, Donald Gray, and
Ashley McCandless. Over 75
students sold over $100.00 in
cookies. All students selling
over $100.00 in cookies will be
treated to lunch at the Pizza
Inn. The top selling class was
Mrs. Joyce Gehrig's first grade
and they will also be treated at
le Pizza Inn.
The PTO wishes to thank
everyone that took time to sell
and deliver cookies. A special
thanks is given to the following
people for helping in the
tabulating of orders, sorting
and giving out of the cookies:
Buddy Whitford, Jayne
French, LaDonna Kite, Joy
Wright, Brenda Lewis, Barbara
Nobles, Wendy Roach, Joan
Evans, and Barbara Wiggins.
The PTO appreciates, also, the
efforts put forth by the school
principal, the secretaries,
teachers, and aides. Without
their support the cookie sale
would not have been a
success.
