PTO Hospitality Complimentary Refreshments
Winterfest Event Map
Thank you for your contributions to our event! Nearly every auction item was donated!
All proceeds for this event will go directly to Prairie Vista’s PTO in support of our school’s enrichment programs—such as Art Smart, Lego League, PV University— as well as funding for our art teacher and reading materials. Last year, the PTO Board began a campaign to “Get Back to Our Roots”, initially with the goal of installing signage. This year, plans are set to conduct a controlled burn of the prairie to encourage regrowth of native plants. Continuous efforts will be made to ensure that this space is not just a place for the neighbors to walk the dog, but also for our children to learn about the environment in the best possible setting— outside in the environment itself. As such, the PTO has made it a priority to invest in both the professional development of our teachers and the right educational tools for the job. Let’s “Get Back to Our Roots” and help this dream come true! Each year in increasing support, individuals, local business owners and nationwide corporations have graciously donated silent auction items for Winterfest. We encourage you to support these businesses as they have supported Prairie Vista’s environmental and educational efforts. They continue to make our community a better place to live and our school a better place to learn. The Prairie Vista PTO and the Winterfest Committee would like to thank everyone who has helped to make this evening happen—our generous donors, our tremendous volunteers and our giving bidders! Gratitude to Rob Dylla and Carrabba’s Italian Grill for your incredible donation and to PV Teachers and Staff who consistently support the PTO.
