ORCHARD LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARENT FACULTY COUNCIL
FUNDRAISE
Our school administrators spend their budgets carefully. Still, sometimes there's just not enough money to go around. Because of this, we raise money to supplement the school budget and support additional programs for our students and staff.
​
There are many ways you can help. You (and your family members, friends, generous neighbors, and community businesses) are always welcome to make a direct donation to the PFC. We are incredibly grateful for direct donations of any size.
We also run a number of fundraisers throughout the school year. You might take care of dinner by attending one of our Restaurant Nights. Stock up on books at a Scholastic Book Fair. Or buy gift cards to local stores you'd shop at anyway through our Raise Right Gift Card program.

Raise Right Gift Cards
With the Raise Right gift card program, you buy gift cards at face value while earning money for Orchard Lane. Each company offers a percentage back for every gift card you buy. For example, if you buy a $100 Pick-N-Save gift card, you pay $100 and the school earns $4.
​
This is an easy way to earn money for Orchard Lane spending money you would have spent anyway. Cards can be sent home with your child or picked up in the office. You can order gift cards through school, online, or through the Raise Right app.
