Donation Drive
Our annual Direct Donation Drive is in full swing. To date, we have raised $8,808.00 toward our $17,000 goal to replace aging Chromebooks and other computer equipment at Venado. Thank you so much to those who have already generously donated. We’re hoping each of our Venado families will make a donation of $100, or an amount of their choosing, to benefit a cause that will directly impact the classroom. All donations are strictly voluntary. You can make an on-line donation at https://www.venadoptsa.org/donation-drive/ or via cash/check. As an added incentive, if students turn in 95% of donation envelopes (whether a donation is made or not), students will earn a Ninja Nation Obstacle Course through P.E. Ninja Nation is the leading provider of world class obstacle courses and experiences across the country. All donation are strictly voluntary. The donation drive will continue through November 15. Thank you for your partnership and generosity!
