As we wrap up the 2025-2026 school year, we want to send a huge THANK YOU out to all 181 of you who attended the biannual auction in support of the Purdy Elementary School PTA!

Thanks to 166 generous individuals and business who donated a total of 201 items to help fundraise an incredible $89,000… This means that we met our fundraising goal and managed our budgeted expenses, which achieves the ultimate goal of securing funding for Purdy PTA sponsored events and programs for the next TWO YEARS! The ‘fund a need’ paddle even raised $8,200 for the new building chairs/rugs for each classroom, which is an enormous amount to go towards upgrading each classroom in a tangible, visible way.

This event would not have been possible without the PTA chairs and event organizers for the auction. Our immense gratitude goes out to those PTA members and volunteers! It’s important to mention that many of them will no longer be at Purdy for the next auction in the spring of 2028. In order for the next auction to be as successful, we need people to start getting involved now and learning more about the PTA. The next auction will come up fast, even when 2 years sounds like a long time away.

Please join us for our upcoming Purdy PTA Meeting on Tuesday, June 16th from 7:00 to 8:00 pm in the Purdy Elementary School Library. We hope to see you there!
