Jamestown  (Cassie DuBray)    Washington Elementary PTO is hosted its first annual Chili/Soup Cookoff and silent auction on October 12, 2018. Thanks to everyone who bought tickets and silent auction items, the PTO raised $1,000 to support the students at Washington Elementary and provide additional playground equipment for the 2018-2019 school year.

Winners of the chili cookoff were: first place – Barb Korstjens’s Potato Soup, second place – Max Post van der Burg’s Texas Red Chili and third place –  Kate Tally-Moroz’s Chili.

 

Students at Washington Elementary School have put together a shopping wish list of items they would like to see on their playground. Play structures and seating are expensive and frequently utilized by Washington Elementary students as well as others in the community, including children attending the Jamestown High School Football games.

Washington PTO will be using the dollars raised to purchase items off the wish list. Playground items are a much-needed benefit for the entire community and the PTO continues to seek support. The wish list registry is available on Amazon if community members would like to donate to the cause.  The registry is available at: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/11QKEJ64O2Q4L.
