Raffles raffles raffles :)!

Alright!  In a short timeframe we got some awesome stuff donated!  Thank you to the community members and businesses who stepped up to support Portland Village School!


We have several fun raffles--most will be drawn next Friday, May 10, at 3:20pm (in front of the school), so the winners can use them to amp up their prom night.  Some larger, non-prom-theme prizes will be awarded at the event itself, on May 18, between 7 and 10pm.  You do not need to be present to win, in either case -- we will contact the winners!

( ... Drum roll please .... )

And here they are!
