— from Jamie Donatuto —
The families and staff of the Orcas Montessori School would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported our 20th annual holiday wreath sale. We sold almost 500 wreaths this year! Wreaths were shipped as far as Hawaii and Florida (and everywhere in between), and delivered to folks all over the island.
The money we raised from this sale will benefit the school in a multitude of ways– from improving facilities to purchasing new learning supplies for the classroom. These funds really make a difference!
Several generous islanders and businesses deserve special acknowledgement for their support. Orcas Freight picked up the wreaths and donated their truck for the duration of the sale for storage. Rosario Resort and Rain Shadow Consulting both helped cover the costs of printing and mailing order forms.
A big thanks goes out to Marlace & Rick Hughes and the whole staff at Ray’s Pharmacy who helped us tremendously by selling wreaths at the store.
Thank you to everyone who supported us during this very important fundraiser. We appreciate your continued support of early childhood education on the island.
