GREENE PTA DONATION – WHY GIVE?
The PTA loves our school and we want all of our students to have equal access to all of the materials and activities in school. We also fund supplemental enrichment programs that we believe will benefit all of our students.
We ask for parents to donate one time at the beginning of the school year, eliminating fees and requests for donations throughout the year.
This year, we are asking parents to donate $XXX per student with a goal of raising $XXX,XXX to support and enrich the curriculum at (school).
The PTA funds (list specifics):
- General School Supplies
- Storytelling Workshop for our English/Language Arts classes
- Library Books and Author Visits
- Science Fair
- School Dances and Lunch Clubs
- Materials and Supplies for Art, P.E.
- and more!
Together, we are building the school and community that we want for all of our families. Thank you.
ADDISON ELEMENTARY PTA
Why does PTA need to raise money beyond its membership fees?
Our school community is made up of families representing a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds. In order to ensure all Addison students are provided with a rich environment for learning and growing, our PTA raises money so that every student has access to classroom supplies, community events and educational experiences and programs.
