PTSA Fundraiser: Oct. 31 – Nov. 14

Today (Friday, Oct. 31) at our all-school assembly, we kicked off the annual PTSA Direct Drive, our biggest fundraiser and our only direct ask to families for funding. (We are still planning some fun events in spring, but there will NOT be a separate request for staff holiday gifts and appreciation.)

Please check your student’s backpack for a golden envelope that contains a letter with more information and a pledge card. We ask is that each family consider giving an amount that is meaningful to them, whatever that amount might be – because together, we can do amazing things!

The state and district funding that we receive is insufficient to meet the needs of our students and our school. So, the PTSA fundraises to help pay for additional school staff, classroom supplies, staff appreciation, and academic and social enrichment. There is also a fund for the school counselor to support families in need.

We recognize that each family’s situation is different, so our focus is on participation – each student returning a gold envelope. Please send the golden envelope back to school with your child by Friday, November 14, 2025. You can also drop it off at the school office. Each classroom that has at least 80% of their envelopes returned will get $300 to spend on their classroom library and materials, and the class with the highest percentage of envelopes returned will get a party!

Thank you in advance for your participation and support!
