Plant Sale Fundraiser

Spring showers bring May flowers! Please consider supporting NPMA by purchasing beautiful flowers! Whether you are looking for a colorful porch planter or starters to plant yourself, we have several varieties to choose from! We also have a few select veggies! Please share on your socials!

Orders are due by 4/23. All orders should be placed in an envelope labeled ‘Plant Sale’, and checks should be made payable to North Penn Music Aides. Orders can be placed in the Blue Box in the band room, or I will be at the HS for the parents meeting on 4/20 and I will make myself available at the HS for anyone who would like to drop their orders off on 4/23. We are working with the HS to make pickup of flowers/veggies available in the NPHS parking lot on 5/9. Stayed tuned for further details.

If you should have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to Katie at 215-353-1901 or e-mail at NPMA.Fundraising@gmail.com.
