Dear Victor Gardens Residents,
I am writing on behalf of the current and future students of Hugo Elementary. The Hugo and Oneka Elementary PTA is hosting one of our most important Fund Raisers on Friday, April 29th with our Gold Plate Dinner at the Hugo Legion Post 620. This Adults Only evening includes Drinks, Dinner, a Raffle, Silent Auction and Games of Chance. A Social Reception with the Silent Auction goes from 5-7 with Dinner following at 7pm.
Proceeds from the evening are dedicated to benefit the Technology Fund for the Hugo and Oneka PTA. Specifically, we are looking to purchase "Smart Boards" for the 7 remaining classrooms at Hugo Elementary School in time for the 1st Grade Class to take advantage of them next fall. Smart Boards are interactive, multi-media tools that our teachers use to better engage with students and enhance their lesson plans. Ask any older elementary student and they will tell you that smart boards make learning fun and rewarding. Each classroom at Oneka Elementary has a smart board installed and they are used on a daily basis.
Last year, with the re-opening of Hugo Elementary for Kindergarten, the PTA was able to raise the funds to install Smart Boards in those 7 classrooms. Next year, those students will remain at Hugo Elementary for 1st Grade and we want to make sure that they can continue to use these great tools. We are on the final stretch run to finish both schools in our community and we don't want to fail our students.
I would especially like to implore parents of pre-school aged children to help us make the investment in your child's future by joining our effort. We have a very strong and active PTA and it's never too early to get involved in making our local elementary schools as strong and vibrant as they can be for the sake of our children.
Please join us next Friday, April 29th. Call up Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles to watch the kids. Come out for a fun evening with members of your community and neighbors for a great cause. Tickets can be purchased for $100/couple and include 1 of 100 available raffle tickets worth up to $1000! If you prefer to make a gift donation for our effort, please drop off a check made out to Oneka PTA at either school's office. We will mail you a receipt for tax purposes if desired.
To Register for or event, please email ajogores@yahoo.com with your choice of Chicken or Pork entree and your top 3 lucky numbers from 1 to 100 for the raffle .
Thank you for your support.
