"We hope this is a good revenue stream for our PTA group," Vaughn says. "The funds we raise allow the PTA to 'give back' to the school."

The PTA provides T-shirts for the sub-mile runners, has purchased the school agendas for each student, reimburses teachers for school supplies and provides scholarships for science camp.

"We have been very fortunate to have a wonderful PTA president, ," Vaughn says. "She’s an amazing leader and Campbell parent!"
