DIRECT DONATION
Hello Clifford Families,
My name is Jennifer Erskine and I have the privilege to be leading our amazing Clifford PTO this year. No one could have imagined that when we went home in March that our upcoming school year of 2020-2021 would be like this. As we all have struggled with these changes, we have also become closer within our Clifford Community. I am honored and so proud of the positivity our community has during these difficult times. We all have had to adapt and change how we have been doing things in the past. One the items that PTO has struggled with, is how do we raise enough funds this year during a pandemic when we cannot put on our biggest fundraiser, the PTO Auction?
Clifford PTO has committed to support and provide the following services this year:
•We are covering half of the salary of our wonderful Middle School PE Teacher, Mr. Dan Rogers. Dan is not only doing PE for our Middle School students but also running Study Hall on Wednesdays.
•Healthy Cities Tutoring – We support Healthy Cities that provides tutoring for our students. •Reimbursement of school supplies for Staff.
•Art in Action
•Project Cornerstone
•Marine Science
•Support for Staff participating in SEAL Training
•Books for the Library
•Staff Appreciation Through the summer, PTO met many times to review other ways we can fundraise and be successful with our endeavors.
As such, we respectfully request a donation from you, our Clifford family. Your support is critically important to enabling us to continue to support these valuable programs and services. We appreciate your investment in our school and children. This year, we raised our goal for Direct Donations to $100,000. While this is a large number, Clifford PTO usually raises roughly $150,000 with more than half coming from the Auction. We will have some smaller fundraisers throughout the year but through Direct donation, we believe that we can be the most successful. Any amount we help! You can also sign up on our website to support Clifford monthly in lieu of one flat amount. We appreciate your support. Please remember we are in this together.
Jennifer Erskine (PTO President)
