"Since our schools are facing such a huge budget cut we hope to use any money we earn to supplement the funding for  the programs that are in danger of being cut," said Krista Rondomanski, member of the Pepper Tree Parent Teacher Association through e-mail. "Our school held a basket raffle in hopes of raising the needed $14,000 to pay for the art and music programs that the PTA pays for. We were only able to raise $8,000 through the baskets and are looking for other ways to help raise funds to keep these two wonderful programs for the children."

Pepper Tree elementary school is located at 1045 W. 18th Street in Upland and has a student population of over 750 students.
