The Fall 2019 fundraiser is here and your child should have taken home a fundraiser packet on Friday, August 30, 2019. We encourage all families to participate so we are working with Kids First Fundraising to offer some pretty cool incentives for the kids like a DJ party, Game Truck, and so much more.
The last day to turn in orders is Monday, September 16, 2019.
DO NOT sell door-to-door or to strangers!
Why We Need to Fundraise
The Fall fundraiser is very important because it helps us bring in money to cover most of our expenses such as field trip buses and programs like Meet the Masters, Trunk-Or-Treat, Family Night, Field Day, Grandparent’s Day, and much more.
You can learn more about what the PTA does, here.
