Whitney PTA PIZZA FACTORY TAKEOVER NIGHT (And the raffle prizes really rock!)

We're taking over the Anacortes Pizza Factory for an evening, and it's going to amazing! Join us on December 2nd from 5:00-8:00 pm for pizza, Monday Night Football (GO SEAHAWKS!), and a raffle for over $800 in prize baskets donated by generous local businesses and PTA members. Tickets are just $1.00 each and are available for sale at the Takeover Night. 

Can't wait to get your tickets? We've got you covered. Visit the Whitney Elementary office during school hours to purchase tickets, or get some when you pick up your kids after school! PTA Board Members Libby Digweed, Melissa Reeder, Christy Fischer and Sarah Meyhoff will be selling tickets at pickup November 25th-27th (see schedule below). 

Huge thanks to our local businesses and PTA members who donated our raffle items. Your contribution directly helps support the students at Whitney Elementary.
