Fundraising Overview for Park Elementary

You may be wondering, “Why does the PTA need to fundraise anyway?” The PTA sponsors many events and programs throughout the school year, aimed at helping our school and students with activities, supplies and family fun. A listing of some of the programs and events can be seen below.

Park PTA sponsored events/Eventos patrocinados por Park PTA:

• Back to school picnic/Picnic de regreso a la escuela

• Ice Cream Social/Fiesta de helados

• Mr. Silver’s Garden/Jardín del Sr. Silver

• Field Trips and Transportation/Excursiones y transporte

• Book Fair/Feria del Libro

The PTA needs your help to make all of these events and services possible! Our fundraising goal for this school year is an ambitious $90,000. With buses for field trips costing $400 each and Chromebook carts costing $10,000 each it is easy to see that the funds we raise get used quickly.

The following pages have listings of some fundraisers we will run throughout the school year. We are excited to reach this goal together and appreciate your participation. Whether it’s buying a roll of gift wrap, purchasing Park Spirit Wear for the whole family or volunteering your time to sort candy orders, we can’t do this without you!

Please feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions, I look forward to meeting you!
