To the Editor:

Thank you so very much to all those in our community who supported the Altamont Parent-Teacher Association’s Village-wide Garage Sale held on Saturday, May 5. Your $20 goes a long way for our students at Altamont!

Between our participating sales (including those who were too late to get on the map but still made a donation) and monetary donations from local businesses, we raised over $2,000, every cent of which will benefit our students at Altamont Elementary School.

I’d also like to extend great thanks to the parents who helped me: Jan Putorti, Darci Efaw, Chrissy Higgins, Michelle Sanchez, even a past AES parent: Wendy Pollard.

Countless hours go into planning this event and your help made it all possible!

Thanks also to the village of Altamont, the Altamont Police Department, The Altamont Enterprise, Enterprise Printing and Photo, The Altamont Free Library, and the AES office staff! My apologies if I’m forgetting anyone.

I look forward to our 2019 Garage Sale Day!
