🧧 Get Ready for 2026 LNY! Raffle Prize Donations Needed

It’s never too early to start preparing for a party! We are officially diving into the planning for our 2026 Lunar New Year (LNY) celebration.

To make our annual LNY Raffle a success and to keep everyone happy with the prize inventory, we need your help with donations.

If you’d like to donate a raffle prize:

  • Please bring it to the PCLS Admin Team on any Sunday before December 21, 2025.

A few ground rules for donations (because we love clarity):

  • Retail Value: $25 or more. (We’re aiming for prizes that make people shout!)

  • Condition: Must be NEW and UNOPENED. (No dusty relics, please.)

  • Appropriateness: Items should be suitable for the occasion and our audience.

Tax receipts are available upon request.

PTA Update

Deposit refund requirement: Please note that only after the parent duties are fulfilled will the deposit be refunded. To check your 2025-2026 parent duty sign ups, please click this link. Detailed parent duty instructions and information can be found in the PCLS Parent Duty Guidelines. Please make sure to sign in at the event/duty to log the completion of your duty. If any events/parent duty signups are canceled/moved, it is the family’s responsibility to fulfill another parent duty in order to receive the deposit.

Any questions about your parent duties, please reach out to Jan-Huey, PCLS PTA Lead, while at school or at PTA@pcls.org.
