Fund a Furlough Day for Our Kids

For the past two years, state budget cuts have reduced the Piedmont Instructional Calendar, and valuable instructional days have been replaced with furlough days. With your help, we can raise $90,000 to buy back a furlough day for the 2012-2013 school year calendar.

How can you contribute? Visit the Spring Fling auction site at http://piedmont.maestroweb.com/ and click on Fund-a-Furlough in the left column.

Every contribution makes a difference and supports quality education for all our children.

Thank you for your support!

Make sure to let Hilarie Shelby know about your parent party by Friday, April 6 so we can include your plans in the parent party calendar.

More information about parent parties is here. Contributing a party is easy — you can submit all the information we need online.
