“In a time when our schools need financial support, the surrounding business community really stepped up," said co-chair Allison Smith. "They gave generously and helped us create an exciting event. I am glad that we can continue to support them in return by shopping locally."

The Salt Brook PTA is a not-for-profit charity, which supports and funds educational activities and capital projects within their public school. 

Past Spring Fundraiser proceeds have been utilized to build a new playground; update technology through the purchase of SmartBoards; and fund teacher-requested grants for classroom materials and supplies. 

The goals of the PTA are only realized because of donations from the community and the PTA’s many member-volunteers. 

The “Big Basket Raffle” will be fun for all.  Please come out and support Salt Brook School.  For more information, please contact Allison Smith at w.smith5@verizon.net.
