...the delicious way to raise money for Prairie Hill

Sunday, August 10
4 - 9 p.m.


Please join us inside or in the outdoor terraza to eat, support our school, 
and catch up with friends!

This event is not to be missed as the last few events have been a lot of fun AND raised between $1000 and $1500 dollars at this event in just one 5-hour evening! 
 
They offer wood oven pizzas with all-natural fresh ingredients and handmade white, whole wheat and gluten and dairy-free crusts. Frozen pizzas will also be available to purchase. 

Where: Pizzeria Piccola, located at 7606 W. State Street in Wauwatosa, near Outpost Natural Foods.  

Here is how it works:
PHWS parents will volunteer to work at the restaurant (delivering food to tables) and in return the restaurant will donate between 15% and 25% of the profits they make during our time slot to PHWS. Plus, all tips go directly to the school too! 

Volunteers: We need 5 volunteers each from 3-5pm, 5-7pm, and 7-9pm**. Our duties include delivering food and clearing tables.  Older students can sign up for a volunteer time as well.  Click here to sign up 

**Melissa Marban can provide transportation one or both ways to PHWS if you'd like to have your family meet you after your shift or eat with them first and then work the 7-9 shift.  

Any questions or requests for a ride can email Melissa Marban or call (262) 434-0264.

Please invite your friends, family, and anyone else you think of - the more people that dine, the more money we make for Prairie Hill!  All they have to do is enjoy some delicious food (and maybe leave a tip!) 
 

Thank you all for your support!
