FUNDRAISING  AND  DONATIONS

 

The PTA appreciates dues and contributions to help us support the students and the school in building a stronger Maker community. The payment of dues is not a condition for participation or membership.   While donations of all types are accepted we ask each member to consider making a voluntary donation of at least  $20. The PTA periodically conducts  fundraisers to support on going initiatives activities.
 
FUNDRAISING EVENT #1
 
February 1, 2025 thru March 1, 2025
 
" No Bake"  Bake Sale
Instead of buying ingredients, baking cookies, and sending them to school with your kid (who might eat a few during their commute), we invite you to consider donating the amount you’d have spent on supplies to the PTA.
For every $10 donation, accepted during the month of February, you will receive a single entry into the raffle.
 
This month in recognition of Black History Month, you have a chance at winning a copy of

Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series

COMMUNITY & COMMUNICATION

We are excited about sharing planned agenda, activities and events in store for the school year, as well as our efforts to remain proactive and provide you with useful resources.
