Harvest Drive

Students may request extra raffle tickets every day after school throughout Harvest Drive (2:45 pm – 3:00 pm in the library).  If there is a special circumstance and students/parents need extra tickets at any other time, they can leave a note in the main office, send me an email or call me for the request and I will process the tickets and call them down at the end of the school day.   Please remember, raffle tickets are meticulously tracked to each student and all unsold tickets must be returned to avoid a tuition charge.
Visit the Harvest Drive page on the PCHS website for detailed information on this fundraiser.  Go to the “Forms” link to download extra ad contracts and other forms.  To view frequently asked questions, click on the “Questions” link.  Ms. O’Brien may also be contacted at (815) 717-3163 or emailed at harvestdrive@providencecatholic.org
