On-Going Fundraisers
The following campaigns are so simple to participate in and really bring in a lot of money for Branchville PTA. Please consider supporting each of them.
Beaver Bucks
The BES PTA works with many local retailers including Oak + Almond, Eddie’s Pizza, Toozy Patza Pizza, Squash’s Office Supply, Keough’s Paint & Hardware, Terra Sole, Dimitri’s Diner, Ridgefield Pet, Adam Broderick Salon & Spa and Tusk & Cup... and so many more. When you order a gift certificate through Beaver Bucks, the retailer will donate between 10-25% back to BES PTA! This is a win-win. We help you, you help local businesses, and local businesses invest in our kids’ education. Show your appreciation for these local businesses and your love for our school by supporting Beaver Bucks. A flyer will come out several times a year or you can order online when program is active.
