2025 TBT PTO Fundraisers & Projects
A Year In Review
Family Picnic
March
Our first event as an emerging PTO! Families gathered and we offered 2 different nature scavenger hunts. Each participant was entered into a raffle for a $25 farm stand gift card.
Bayberry Bowling Fundraiser
May
Families gathered for a night of pizza & bowling at Bayberry Bowling Center in Spencer. We are grateful to the many families who donated raffle baskets and also to Bayberry for giving us 10% back of our sales.
Pepe’s Restaurant Night

We hosted our first ever restaurant night at Pepe’s Taqueria in Tatnuck Sq. in Worcester. Families came out to enjoy delicious Mexican food and Pepe’s generously gave us 10% back of our sales.
Movie Night
May
We gathered in the barn to watch The Lorax on the big screen!
TBT PTO 1st Annual Campout
July
Our most fun community event to date! 20 families explored the farm together, played under the stars, made smores, told stories, watched a movie in the barn, and awoke early to the sights & sounds of the farm.
Parent Wellness Series
October
On two different Friday mornings in October, TBT mom and yoga instructor, Kasia Relyea, led a relaxing and rejuvenating yoga class. With the purchase of the yoga class, parents received 2 hours of onsite childcare.
Harvest Party
October
We gathered together for pumpkin decorating (pumpkins generously donated by Breezy Gardens in Leicester) spooky crafts, smores & and an epic glowstick dance party in the rain!
Holiday Card Drive
November
We delivered 65 cards & drawings made by TBT families to CareOne Nursing Home in Millbury.
Staff Giving Tree
December
Our most ambitious fundraiser yet! On behalf of the PTO, we wanted to thank all of the families who contributed to this year’s staff giving tree. Thanks to your generous contributions, the PTO was able to provide TBT staff with a catered meal from Ciao Bella, over $600 dollars in gift cards and over 60 gifts from their staff wishlist.
Staff Brunches
Ongoing
In 2025, we organized 3 staff brunches. We invited families to drop off food and beverage items as a way to say thank you to our fantastic teachers. Staff have expressed how much they appreciate this new tradition; we look forward to continuing it in 2026!
TBT Scholarship Fund
Ongoing
Each year, Turn Back Time offers scholarships as part of the Card to Culture program. This allows all families an opportunity to experience the amazing programs on the farm. Part of our mission as the TBT PTO is to help support this scholarship fund by giving 1/3 of our fundraising efforts directly to it.
