Countryside BASH - Here's the Deal!

 

The BASH is back! Join other Countryside parents on Friday, March 1st from 7:00 - 10:30 PM at the Braemar Club House for the PTO's largest fundraiser of the year. We'll socialize, play games, enjoy a hosted bar (for the first hour!) and some heavy apps, and new this year... take a chance at the Countryside Casino.

The goal of the Countryside Bash is to build and nurture relationships within our school community while raising funds for the Countryside PTO and the programs we support at school. Through your generosity at the Bash, you are helping to fund the PTO's annual operating budget of approximately $30,000, in addition to allowing us the flexibility to respond to unforeseen expense requests from Countryside Elementary throughout the year.

 

One of the anticipated new budgeted expenses for the 2024-2025 school year is literacy support in response to the recent legislation of the MN READ Act. Although we do not yet know the specific needs and associated costs, the PTO stands ready to support Countryside Elementary's literacy program in any way we can, because we know reading is fundamental to our students' current and future success. As we greet friends old and new at the pre-Bash parties and the main event, know that every donation, ticket sale, raffle purchase, and auction bid directly supports our community and our kids.

 

Help us meet our goal of raising $20,000 at this year’s event:

 

Grade-Level Parties

 

The PTO's BASH committee is excited to bring back grade-level parties. These parties are hosted in preparation for the BASH to give parents an opportunity to socialize and build connections before the big event. To RSVP, check your email or the Countryside PTO Facebook page for the evite link. You can also contact the event coordinator, Meg Martin at meg.marie.martin@gmail.com.
