Chautauqua's Harvest Festival Coming Up!
The Harvest Festival at Chautauqua is a long time tradition in which the Vashon PTO transforms the school into an autumn wonderland with games, dancing a raffle and tons of family fun! Admission is $10 per student (children 4 and under are free - as are adults!). A special meal (new this year - homemade grilled cheese with tomato soup and chips!) is available for $8 per person - be sure to pre-order meals, as there will be a very limited number available at the event. Extra raffle tickets can be purchased for $2 each for better chances to win fabulous prizes!
The Harvest Festival is one of Vashon PTO's largest fundraisers for the year and helps support other events like Popcorn Fridays, Bingo Night, Holiday Shop and more - so come, have a great time, and support the PTO!
The Harvest Festival also takes MANY volunteers to pull off - please check out our Volunteer Sign Ups page to sign up!

Save Your Receipts!
We collect Thriftway and IGA receipts from our Chautauqua and McMurray families that we then tally up and turn in to Thriftway and IGA for a generous donation of 1% of the total sales from those receipts. It's a great way to support Vashon PTO just by doing your normal shopping.
At Chautauqua: Drop them off at the Orca Pod (the structure just inside the front doors of the school with the daily joke) where you will find a wooden box with a label for the Thriftway receipt program.
At McMurray: Drop them off to the box in the front office.
