🍕🌮🍔 INTRODUCING… PAXTONIA DINES OUT! 🐴💙

We’re giving one of our favorite (and easiest!) fundraisers a fresh new look!

Each month, the Paxtonia PTA will partner with a local restaurant that will donate a portion of sales back to our school.

And this fundraiser comes with some pretty great perks:

🙌 No selling anything
🙌 No begging your friends & relatives to buy something
🙌 No forms to fill out
🙌 And best of all… NO COOKING DINNER! 🎉

Just grab the family, enjoy some great food, and help support Paxtonia at the same time. It really doesn’t get much easier than that!

📅 Be sure to follow our Facebook Events! We’ll create an event for each Paxtonia Dines Out night so you can see which restaurant is next, get all the details, mark yourself “Going,” and get those handy Facebook reminders.

Our first stop this month is Yianni’s Gyros!!

Eat local. Give back. Support our Mustangs. 💙🐴

And maybe retire the phrase “What’s for dinner?” at least one night a month. 😂
