2022 Annual Cash Calendar Raffle
Drawings began March 1st and ran through April 20th.  The winners are contacted by phone and posted on our Facebook page.

Cash Calendar Sales were EXCEPTIONAL (once again)! Gross Sales: $17,270

The revenue raised by the Cash Calendar Fundraiser provides the PTA with the opportunity to continue to support Technology Enhancements, Enrichment Programs, Otis Ski Lesson Program, Screen-Free Week Activities, Field Day, Staff Appreciation Week, Butternut Tubing, and more.
We are always looking for new ways to support the educational experience of our children at Farmington River School!

Heartfelt thanks to all of the local businesses and friends of Farmington River who Donated Cash Prizes to the Calendar and to all families and community members who supported our efforts by purchasing calendars!

Students and staff will enjoy an ice cream social at a future date to show our appreciation for all their hard work selling cash calendars.

Students from grades K-6 purchase over $2,600 of affordable hand-picked gifts for their family members, teachers, friends, and pets. Two (2) of each student’s gifts purchased were wrapped by our Happy Helpers.
