One week left to meet our Fall for Ross fundraising goal!
We still need your help. We hope that 100% of families will make a donation to Fall for Ross of any size this year. As you can see below, we are still a way from that goal in every class. The class with the highest participation percentage will get an extra recess! Give today as the Fall for Ross drive officially ends on Tuesday, December 21!
PK4: Little Lions 14/20 (70.00%)
K-1 Emminger: Fantastic Fireflys 12/17 (70.59%)
K-1 Kim/Guarisco: Nifty Narwahls 9/19 (47.37%)
K-1 Hailemicael: Fascinating Flamingos 14/18 (77.78%)
Grade 2: Persistent Puppies 15/25 (60.00%)
Grade 3: Helpful Hyenas 15/28 (53.57%)
Grade 4: Powerful Parrots 14/19 (73.68%)
Grade 5: Daring Dogs 6/16 (37.50%)
The fall fundraiser is the biggest of the year. Your donations help pay for classroom supplies, staff development and appreciation, STEM and other technology resources, field trips, support for needs in our community and so much more!
If you have not already made a Fall for Ross donation this year, it is not too late! Please make a one-time or recurring monthly gift today at whatever amount fits your budget.
Not sure whether you have given yet? Contact Ross PTA Vice President of Fundraising Kate Gardner (katemurphy@gmail.com) or Ross PTA Treasurer Brian Knudsen (rossfundraising@gmail.com) to check your status and make sure your donation has been counted for your student's class or your students' classes.
Give today and help us meet our goal!
