Letter of Intent-J.J. Flynn Garden Fundraising At the January PTO meeting, parents will vote on the following proposal to restrict funds for the Flynn gardens. It is proposed that $2,000 be restricted.
It has been the intention of the fundraising coordinator/chair for the past four years to assure the continued use and care of the Flynn School garden and to maintain and expand the garden areas in the future. Garden areas include the raised beds, the garden borders at the main entrance, and those lining the south parking lot and south entrance doors.
In the last two years the PTO fundraising chair (Susan Rutherford) has led the “Perennially Green Sale” fundraiser. Not only does this event bring parents and staff but also community members to the school to donate plants, but also to participate in the plant and yard sale that is held on the same day. In the past, 50 - 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale were set aside for improvement of the school gardens. This has amounted to $1,500 to $2,000.
Because the school garden raised beds will be dismantled during the school renovations next year, it is requested that the proceeds from last year’s Perennially Green sale be earmarked and reserved for re-establishing the gardens following construction next year. It is also requested that grants the PTO apply for grants as in the past to re-build the raised beds and continue to improve the Flynn School gardens. In order to do this, it is important to set aside funds for that purpose.
