Pizza And A Prize At Essex Elementary School Huge Success
The annual Family Bingo night was transformed by the Essex Elementary School PTO into a social distancing fundraiser that raised $2,100.
ESSEX, CT — The usual Family Bingo night at the school, which is one of the largest yearly fundraisers for the Essex Elementary School PTO, had to be rethought this year to fit into the perimeters of a safe, socially distanced event. So, the Pizza & A Prize event was given birth to.
One hundred and sixty-eight pizzas were purchased as part of the event and hundreds of prizes were given out along with more than 70 gently used books. This successful event raised a total of $2,100 of the Essex Elementary School PTO. Organizers Carrie Comerford and Lauren Devin did a great job along with partner Centerbrook Pizza.
This is just one more example of communities pivoting during tough times to continue to support one another. Great job!
