FUNDRAISING

We're excited for another amazing school year -- and we need your help to make it a success! This year, the PTO has set a fundraising goal of $130,000 (approximately $360/student) to support classroom resources, enrichment programs, family events and more.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference in our students' experience. Whether you contribute directly, participate in upcoming fundraisers or help spread the word, you're part of our community effort.

General Fund Donation

As always, we try to be transparent with our fundraising. Follow along throughout the year by using our Fundraiser Tracker.
