Principal Saipe in a Pink Tutu?  Let's make it happen!
Article Subheading
Why would Principal Saipe ever agree to wear a pink Tutu to school?!  He knows how important it is for us to raise money in the Spring Donation Drive
 
We have raised only $2,200 of our $15,000 fundraising goal. To meet this goal, each student needs to raise only $28. If the school is able to raise $10,000, Principal Saipe will color his hair pink, wear a pink Tutu and a pink t-shirt for the day!! Help make it happen!
 
Please submit cash or check donations payable to Holmes PTA by March 26th.  Download the Spring Donation Drive Form attached to the HERO Run letter sent home and submit it with payment to your child's teacher. 
 
Online donations can be made through April 12th at:
