Lehman-Jackson Elementary PTA will be holding its annual fund-raiser next week to help take care of these and many other activities that are hosted throughout the year. The one and only fund-raiser for the year, the PTA totally relies on profits from this event to pay for many worthwhile extras that the students enjoy. The majority of the funds will go towards field trips which in the past have included places like Historic Gettysburg and Philadelphia. Another benefit will be assemblies throughout the year, such as the Franklin Institute Program already scheduled for September.Some of the remaining funds will go towards various programs like the 5th and 6th grade basketball, a RIF (Reading is Fundamental) program that encourages students to want to read, and The White Christmas Program (going on strong for over 32 years) where the students and the PTA get together to make up food baskets for many needy families in the school.arious incentives like a limo ride, a pizza party, an ice cream party and other goodies will be provided to the top selling students.
