Local Products Fundraiser for Paxson School 2024
It’s time for Paxson’s Annual Local Products fundraiser! The Local Products Fundraiser is one of our PTA’s main fundraising events and beloved by families, staff and friends of Paxson where we partner with local Montana buisnesses to raise money for Paxson School. Our goal is to sell $25,000 in local products year! About 45% of that total will come back to Paxson. This unique fundraiser supports our school AND local businesses (some of whom are current Paxson families or alumni!) Use this platform to purchase holiday gifts from local Missoula and Montana vendors with the proceeds supporting your kids’ Paxson programs:
- Our classroom Activity Fund (every teacher receives $300 per classroom and our PE, music, art and library specialists $500 per year)
- $1000 Field Trip Fund per grade level
- TWO Missoula Children’s Theatre weeklong residence program
- Family Resource Center (FRC supports our families in need)
- PEP Can (through fun non-elimination games, our recess activity coordinator, engages kids at recesses multiple times a week. This program reduces playground issues, and office referrals.)
- Animal Wonders education series (3rd grade)
- Naturalist Program (4th grade)
- Spelling Bee (5th grade)
- Books, balls, field trip support and so much MORE! We need your support to continue these programs so share this link with friends and family!
Logistics
We will collect items from our local vendors and have them ready for student seller families to PICK UP at the gym on Tuesday 12/10 from 3:15-5:30 pm. Once you pick up the items, you will get in touch with the supporters who bought items from your student seller (there will be a list in your bag) and you will distribute to them. Unfortunately, we don’t ship items. As you send out emails to friends and family to participate in this fundraiser, please have them include your child’s first and last name in the checkout form so we know what to include when we bag all the items for your student seller.
If you are an Alumni or community member that has no connection to current students, please write “Self” and “Pickup” in the Student Seller section and come pick up your items on Tuesday 12/10 from 3:15-5:30 pm in the Paxson GYM. Thanks for your continued support!
Enjoy gifting and indulging in these awesome local products. Items will arrive in time to ship out with all your holiday packages. Send some home to your friends and family! Thank you in advance – your purchases make amazing programs happen for our Paxson students.
