Annual autumn activities include the Perry Elementary Parents (PEP) Yankee Candle fall fundraiser, which runs through Oct. 4.
Supporting our schools never smelled so good and has never been easier now that online ordering is available for the popular brand of scented candles, which typically sell for about $10.99 in retail outlets. Online shoppers should order through Group #990098032.
PEP supporters who prefer to pay for the candles by check should make them payable to Perry Elementary parents. Orders must be paid in advance. Delivery is expected within two to four weeks of ordering.
Funds raised by the sale of the Yankee Candles help to support the purchase of new playground equipment, recess equipment and a variety of teacher supplies, according to Perry Community School District Superintendent Lynn Ubben.
