PTO Fundraising
Our primary objective as a PTO is to provide our school with assistance – including funds, programs, and parent helpers that will enrich and maximize the education of your child.  To meet this important objective, and afford services that are not covered by our school budgets, we must fundraise.  Our school community must raise money if we want to provide our children with the “extras” … storytellers, story and puppet crafters, music and dance residencies, author readings, concerts, nature talks, grade and curriculum-based assemblies and other hands-on, interactive experiences and presentations that foster a love of learning and create a fun, “I like my school” atmosphere. Our PTO Fundraising Committee is working on several new programs for this coming school year!  Stay tuned… or get involved!
 
Boxtops For Education Program: Free Money for Our School
‘In addition to one primary fundraiser to be determined, we are starting to collect BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION stamps that are found on 100s of products like Cheerios®, Hamburger Helper® and Kleenex®!   Each BOXTOP Logo stamp is worth 10 cents.  Our school can use those stamps to get money…don’t throw money away! Please collect these Boxtops logos and bring them into the school (the collection box is at the front desk). For every 25 Boxtops your child bring in, he or she may pick a “goodie” from the Boxtops box.
