Grad Class of 2025 (additional info to be added as provided to the PMSS office)

The following are GRAD FUNDRAISERS currently being run by your PMSS Grad Committee in support of the 2025 Dry Grad:

• Stay tuned for info regarding a fundraiser from Neufeld Farms Frozen Foods – info should be coming out in April.
• Grad Parents & Friends Pub Night Fundraiser (Friday, April 4th) – details went out on the Parent Portal on January 24th.  Tickets are now FOR SALE at the PMSS office and will sell out quickly so don’t delay if you plan on attending this fun event! February 24th update: only 40 tickets left so don’t hesitate if you’re planning on attending!
• Earth Cleaning Products (ongoing fundraiser): Enclosed is the link to directly purchase Tru-Earth Cleaning Products. Tru-Earth products are good cleaning products that are environmentally friendly with minimal packaging. Our Grad class will receive 20% of the proceeds sold from the enclosed website.  This fundraiser will be ongoing. Please consider supporting Dry Grad. http://tru-earth.sjv.io/PMSS 
• Your Grad Committee has set up a Return It Account at Pitt Meadows Recycling where you can drop off and donate bottles/cans. The items must be in a CLEAR plastic bag, note the account number (7677472325 – pmssgrad25) on a piece of paper or sticker and attach it to the bag.
• (NEW) Domino’s Pizza Cards:  Now selling on the Parent Portal at the low, low price of $10 per card.  What does this get you?
  (1) Every card entitles the purchaser to one Large One-topping Pizza (pick up only) for FREE (essentially…this covers the cost of the card);
  (2) In addition, every card has several Buy One Get One Free Deal stickers on the back.
  (3) This is a win-win for both the Grads and the purchaser
  • The portal order form will be open until the end of the day on Friday, January 31st (collect orders from family and friends and place as one order). ** Be sure to enter the correct quantity needed on the order form.
  • The cards will be delivered to the school for distribution on Friday, February 7th
  • The expiry date on the cards is December 31, 2026 so plenty of time to pick up the FREE pizza and purchase the BOGO deals! If you have any questions on this Grad fundraiser, please email organizer Cheri at cheri_theplacetomortgage.com directly.
• We have once again organized a Meridian Gift Card sale as a fundraiser for our Dry Grad Event. 30% of the proceeds come back directly to the school! The Meridian Meat gift cards are available in $20 and $100 denominations. The online gift cards do NOT expire and are valid for online purchases only. You have the option to pick up your food order from the Meridian Meat location of your choice;  they will deliver for a $5 fee or delivery is free for purchases of $100. We ask you to amalgamate and streamline your sales as much as possible rather than trying to submit each sale separately (to make things easier for our accounting clerk). In other words, if your friends and family buy $300 worth of gift cards, you collect the money from them and then submit one order on the portal. The portal form disappears once you have submitted it once so it’s not possible to add to your order.
  • Students are welcome to come and pick-up a paper ledger and order form from Organizer Mme Simard in the library if that is easier for you.
  • All paper order forms, and online orders must be submitted by March 1, 2025. It takes approximately a week for the gift cards to arrive.
• (NEW) Amsterdam Garden Centre Gift Cards – available in denominations of $25, $50 and $100.  On the Parent Portal for purchase now, order deadline is March 14, 2025.
