Winfield Blues Fest
Winfield School PTO hosted the Winfield Blues Fest on Saturday, March 6, 2010, at the American Legion at 570 S. Gary Ave. in Carol Stream from 7:00 – 11:00 PM. The $10 admission fee included live music by bands Rob Russo & The Loose Screws and Deja Blue and snacks. A Silent Auction, Raffles, Spin the Wheel game and a cash bar were also available. This event netted over $5000 for the Winfield PTO general fund. Thank you to all our volunteers who put on this event and thank you to parents and community members who came out and made it a fun and successful fundraiser.
HALLOWEEN FUN FAIR
The Halloween Fun Fair was a huge success, raising $2689.01 for PTO and Winfield School. Thank you to all the parents, teachers, staff, children and community members who made this a fun night. A special thanks to Patti Weber for taking on the job of coordinating this event!
FALL CATALOG SALE AND GREENERY SALE
For our fall catalog sale we selected Mr. Z's as our supplier. We offered a variety of frozen foods through the Food Court Brochure and traditional high quality gift wrap and gifts from the Perfect Presents Brochure. Thank you to all our families who participated in this sale and helped us raise $2428.20. Special thanks to our coordinators, Lisa Kroehnke and Tammy Gloss.
Our Holiday Greenery Sale netted $941. Thank you to our families, community members and local businesses who helped our coordinators, Patty Peletis and Bogna Roxas make this another successful fundraiser for our PTO. And a special thank you to the Gavin family for the use of their front lawn as a staging area to unload and distribute the greenery!
ONE-TIME DONATION
To date, 22 families have donated $1045 through the One-Time Donation program. Under this program, families who do not wish to participate in catalog fundraisers, book fairs, fun fairs and other PTO fundraisers can donate any amount they choose directly to PTO. One hundred percent of the donation goes directly into funding the activities and teacher philanthropy requests supported by PTO and families are off the hook from participating in fundraisers for the year. Families can participate at any time by writing a check to Winfield PTO and placing it in an envelope marked One-Time Donation and sending it in to either school office. Thank you to the families who have already participated. Click here for a list of donors: Donor List
