SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR: This is one of the largest fundraisers PEPA sponsors, with 25% of the proceeds going directly to our schools. It is a wonderful opportunity to purchase books and miscellaneous items for friends and family. Numerous volunteers are needed during the week of book fair with time commitments that accommodate most schedules. The book fair is held in the fall.
MARKET DAY: Shopping through Market Day provides you with the highest quality groceries and benefits your school at the same time. Volunteers are needed to organize and check orders at each Market Day pick-up, once a month.
SANTA'S SECRET SHOPPER: A holiday event enjoyed by the students, this fundraiser allows the children to shop with help from a volunteer. Parents are provided refreshments while their child is able to buy gifts for family members and friends independently.
SUMMER FUN SALE: A package of valuable and fun summer-themed discounts cards will be distributed to the students to sell. The participating businesses are hand-chosen by PEPA and reflect a localized summer fun theme.
Jr. GREAT BOOKS: A 6-week program to promote reading. Grades 2 through 5 may sign up to participate. Students meet weekly during their lunch to discuss the short stories they have read.
