The
Harvest Festival is an annual fair organized by the Wiener/Hill
PTA. Proceeds from the event go directly to participating teachers
for use in their classrooms. All families and community members
are invited to join in the fun! We will have booths, food, drink,
music, raffle items, t-shirts, and much more!
There
are many volunteer opportunities available as it takes a great amount
of work to make this event a success. Please contact the PTA if
you are interested in helping out. We need people to work at booths,
set up, clean up, etc.... A feedback form has been provided at the
bottom of this page. You may also contact PTA President Beth
Mundo by phone at 510-9946.
Teachers
can contact the PTA or the following school reprentatives with any
questions or concerns regarding the Harvest Festival: Carrie Monday
and Linda McKenna (Hill) / Amy Foss, Rachel Matel, and Marlo Villasenor
(Wiener).
Below
is more detailed information concerning the event. We hope to see
you on October 23rd!
Booths
Teachers
and PTA create all of the Harvest Festival booths. The average teacher
booth last year made $322.00 and some made over $1,500! Individuals
are responsible for setting prices, purchasing prizes, bringing
a ticket collection box (a large one!) and manning their own booths.
We also ask that teachers become PTA members to participate this
year. Membership is only $5.
Booths
are reserved on a first come first serve basis. Please contact Beth
Mundo as soon as possible to reserve your booth.
Each
teacher will receive one table for use at the event, regardless
of how many booths the teacher has. Any additional tables will be
the responsibility of the teacher. If we have any tables leftover,
teachers will be notified.
Teachers/volunteers
will not handle money at any time. Tickets are the only acceptable
form of payment at the event. PTA will sell all tickets before and
during the event. Each ticket is worth 25 cents.
At
the end of the event, teachers are asked to take home their tickets
and count them. PTA will provide a count sheet to turn in along
with their tickets. Expense reimbursement forms will also be provided
and can additionally be downloaded at any time from this page. Check
turn around will be 7 days or less from the receipt of all proper
paperwork. Teachers will have until the end of March to turn in
receipts. Please note that due to our non-profit status, the PTA
cannot reimburse teachers for tax on any items purchased. Teachers
are however welcome to use our tax exempt letter when making purchases.
Drawing
In addition to booths, teachers can also raise money for their classrooms
by participating in the drawing. Drawing tickets are $1.00 each.
Teachers are encouraged to ask parents for donations and to assign
a theme to their baskets. Teachers may even choose to raffle off
a lunch or movie with themselves! All teachers participating in
the drawing must provide a ticket box to set beside each basket.
