Barbara S. Austin Elementary understands the need to promote a healthy and educational fundraiser. Austin Elementary and the PTO partner to conduct this ONE fundraiser for the year. This one activity saves our families from participation in cookie dough, wrapping paper, or other time consuming fundraisers while providing necessary funds to pay for school needs that are outside of the regular budget.

On Friday, October 25, first grade will be celebrating the 50th day of school. We will be doing fun activities throughout the day centered around the number 50 or life in the 1950’s.
On this day, we will be dressing up in 50’s clothing. Some examples of this could be, but are not limited to: rolled jeans, a white shirt, slicked back hair, poodle skirts, ponytails, bobby socks, saddle shoes, jean or leather jackets, scarves, etc.
We are looking forward to seeing the students dressed in their best 50’s day attire and celebrating this special day together!
