A partnership benefits Adrian R-III students
Tara Vermillion, the Adrian PTO Receipts Officer for the 2009 – 2010 school year, gave of her time and energy to collect Yoss Thriftway receipts, total them, and turn them in to Thriftway. In turn, the Yoss Thriftway donates 1% of the grand total to Adrian PTO. Tara’s efforts, along with everyone who sent in receipts, paid off big last year, as evidenced by a generous Yoss Thriftway donation of $2,816.51! To kick off the school year, Adrian PTO will be giving $100.00 to 28 elementary teachers/certified staff to use for educational needs with the receipts program funds.
