Anderson School Fundraiser a Success!

We would like to thank everyone that supported the Parent Council's fundraiser at our Outdoor Gift Works warehouse! For three days we were swarming with positive shoppers that wanted to support the local school. Because of the overwhelming response from the community and school district, we were able to raise--drum roll please. . .over $1,000 to go towards Anderson School! We are so pleased that we can make this donation, and are sincerely thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with our neighboring school.

Announcing Anderson School Fundraiser

Anderson School’s Parent Council is sponsoring a fundraiser for Anderson School through OutdoorGiftWorks.com on September 11, 12, and 13. Ten percent of the total proceeds from a warehouse clothing clearance sale will benefit Anderson students. Funds raised go towards the council’s discretionary funds, and are then directly channeled towards students.

The Anderson School District (41) was established in 1894, one year after the founding of Montana State University. Today, the Anderson Parent Council provides staff and student support.

Both Anderson School and the Parent Council have been innovative and successful in their use of limited resources. Anderson Parent Council coordinates creative fundraising activities throughout the year, including working with the 8th grade’s annual Haunted House in October. Previous Parent Council funding projects have been used to help purchase items for curriculum-related materials, technology, drama, athletics, equipment and field trips including Washington D.C.

The warehouse clearance sale will take place at Outdoor Gift Works a Bozeman-based online company. A variety of gear and apparel for hiking, running, yoga, cycling and more will be featured. Many of the clothing items are made with environmentally friendly materials, and are discounted up to 40 percent off. Early-bird holiday shopping purchases with scheduled delivery dates and free shipping will also be available.
