OUR LATEST FUNDRAISERS

Most recently, we hosted fundraisers at Ledo Pizza and Bubba's 33. We raised approximately $500-$600 between the two and are applying this toward our grant program!! Our next fundraiser is December 19, 2024 to coincide with our Movie Night!

WHY DO WE FUNDRAISE?

The PTA is a non-profit organization run by parents and teachers - for our students! We are solely based on volunteers and donations from ourselves, the community and YOU!! Whether it is a donation of time, supplies or monetary, you help us with the ability to fund events, field trips, experiences and more for students! Donations and volunteer time also help us take care of the teachers and staff during appreciation week, the holidays and more!

WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS YEAR?

What are our main fundraising events throughout the year? Our fundraisers vary throughout the year depending on school schedules and weather. These funds not only help pay any additional required operating costs, but they also help support events throughout the year (DJ's, movie licensing, etc), and provide funding for classroom grants. Some examples of those requests have been the 4th and 5th grade agenda books, sno-balls during field day for all classes, covering transportation fees for field trips and more. 

What are some other fundraising opportunities? The PTA has been working hard this summer to setup restaurant nights such as Chick-Fil-A, Ledos, Bubbas 33 and more for the 2024-2025 school year.  We are always looking for ideas and connections; we would love to hear from you! 

Why do you ask for other donations when you already fundraise? We are lucky enough to have a dedicated Treasurer, who helps define a budget and what funds the PTA spends. They also develop processes to hold everyone accountable with multiple checks and balances. While we raise monetary funds throughout the year, the sheer amount of money it would take to fund everything successfully is simply out of our grasp and as a 504c Non-Profit, we rely on donations to operate.

What other opportunities are there to stretch the dollars? We are looking to expand partnerships with local businesses to donate free foods, supplies and snacks for events, but we just do not have the manpower behind us at the moment. Please reach out if you have an opportunity for partnership we can pursue or if you'd like to become a sponsor! 

WHY DO WE NEED VOLUNTEERS?

Volunteers are the backbone of the PTA, both Parents AND Teachers. This group is meant to connect all parties in an informal setting and build those relationships through experiences together! We are steadily building our network of volunteers and to say the very least, it's because of you that we are successful! We absolutely could not do it on our own with full-time work schedules and general life happening. The term Divide and Conquer really applies here and helps us extend our success rates to levels that we couldn't even dream of reaching with just our 5-person Board. You ARE the PTA, and YOU make it happen!!
