WHY DO WE FUNDRAISE?

Our PTSA fundraises throughout the school year to pay for programs that enhance our children’s education. If the PTSA does not raise enough money, programs cannot be paid for and are subject to cancellation. 

100% of the money raised goes towards:  
  1. EVENTS:  like International Night, Science Fair, Field Day and more. 
  2. PROGRAMS: like Passport (geography), Math Challenge, Spelling Bee, Nature Vision, Accelerated Reader, and 3rd Grade water safety.
  3. GRANTS: like teacher supplies, safety patrol, school equipment and emergency supplies. 
  4. COMMUNITY BUILDING: like Books for Breakfast, HawkFlash and other communications.
  5. And more!  

HOW DO WE FUNDRAISE?
