The ARPS PGO did great for our first Valley Gives. The ARPS PGO schools together had 180 donors & raised close to $8,400 including ValleyGives bonus money. The Crocker Farm PGO earned more than $600 for the elementary school & $300 for the preschool. The money we earned will go to help subsidize field trips to make them available to all students, and to fund mini-grants to teachers for classroom materials and special projects.
If you donated on Valley Gives, the organizers of Valley Gives (the Community Foundation of Western Mass) ask that you
take a few minutes to give some feedback on ValleyGives & get a chance at winning $500 for your favorite charity!
Donors completing the survey will be entered into a random drawing to win an additional prize of $500 for their favorite nonprofit.
If you meant to give on Valley Gives Day and didn't get to it, you can still make a donation at this link.
Also, for ValleyGives, the PGOs created nice online slideshows of our schools. If you haven't seen them yet, you can view them at the ValleyGives ARPS PGO linkoo or directly at the following you tube links:
