A HUGE Thank You!

Between silent auction and selling our new swag, PTA raised a little over $2000 at Winter Fest!!!!! We are sooooo grateful for all the people and volunteers that made it possible. Please check out some of our parent owned businesses that supported us via donation:

Kate Norris Photography, Be Branded, and Chaos Kitchen. A big congrats to auction winners! Donations valued from $20-$550 with lots of support from local companies and from all the grade donations. Please send any constructive feed back our way so we can make next year even better!

Where does the money go?

PTA looks very different from what we thought, until we joined and learned all the stuff that PTA either supports or is responsible for funding throughout the school year. We provide the funds for transportation to field trips, which has increased by 50% in the last year. We provide teachers with a budget for classroom enrichment as well as a small allowance for class supplies. We will be further discussing our budget at the next meeting which would be a great opportunity for you to see firsthand where the money is planned to go.

We Have A Facebook Group!
