Thanks to the generous donations from Rancho Pico families, Rancho Pico’s Painless Donation Drive was a huge success! The Painless Donation Drive was a great way to raise money for the school. This special event was different than most fundraisers. Unlike other fundraisers, the Painless Donation Drive was “painless” because families simply donated money for the school, and none of the money went to third-party companies. This event raised a lot of money for the school to use, and for the students to have a great year. The donations will help pay for many events such as field trips, Math Counts, Science Olympiad, and other extracurricular events.
Our goal was to hit $15,000 and we surpassed it. We hit $24,000! To reward the students for exceeding our goal, everyone at Rancho Pico enjoyed an extended brunch. At advisory, right after RPTV announcements, students were dismissed early to brunch, which resulted in about 15 extra minutes of brunch. Jeemin Jung, a seventh grader, loved the extra brunch: “I actually liked the extra brunch time, because it gave us more time to relax and the schedule was not very rushed.”
The school thanks the students and their families for their generous contributions. It was a great help and it will help fund many future events.
