Help raise money for the Hollywood PTA by purchasing raffle tickets to win one of two rain barrels with designs inspired by all Hollywood students’ rain garden art, Created in school with Mrs. Mathis, and painted on to the rain barrels by Hollywood 4th and 5th graders.
The rain barrels are from LaGrange’s Green Scene Chicago, which uses 55-gallon food-grade barrels. The rain barrels have all brass no-kink spigots and overflow valves, installed in a way that prevents leaking. A mesh screen on the lid prevents debris falling into the barrel and keeps out mosquitos and other insects.
There are many benefits to using a rain barrel, including lower water bill costs and reducing the amount of water flowing to sewer treatment facilities. Plus, these rain barrels have the added benefit of featuring Hollywood kids’ ideas about gardens!
Tickets are available for purchase now, for $1 for one ticket and $5 for six. You can return the order form below with your money, in an envelope marked “Rain Barrels” and we’ll drop the tickets into our raffle box. Tickets will also be available at upcoming events. Two winners, one for each rain barrel, will be picked following the dedication ceremony for the rain garden sculpture in May.
The form and payment can be sent to Hollywood School, Attn: Rain Barrel Raffle, 3423 Hollywood Avenue, Brookfield, IL 60513 or dropped off at the school.
