Franklin-Randall PTO Now Accepting Grant Applications
|
|
The Franklin-Randall PTO 2019–2020 grant application process is open now
through November 29th.
One of the ways our Parent Teacher Organization encourages creativity and innovation in our community is through financial grants. Once each year we invite all teachers, parents, staff and students to submit ideas for projects that could make a difference to our school community.
New this year, all grants must show evidence of approval from the Franklin or Randall school principal. This can be in the form of a letter or email of support.

Only 3 Weeks Left – We Need Your Help to Meet the Fall Fundraising Goal
|
We are grateful to share that the Fall Fundraising Campaign has raised $8,400 to date. Thank you to all who made a gift so far. But we have a long way to go to reach our $23,000 goal.
We need your help.
Giving through the Fall Fundraising Campaign supports essential programs that rely on funds from the PTO. It is also an easy and efficient way to give, saving you from multiple sales-based fundraising activities. Giving to the fall fundraiser:
- saves your kids from having to sell wrapping paper door-to-door
- means not having to ask extended family to buy tubs of cookie dough
- prevents you from having to hawk candy and gift items your friends don’t need or want
- allows you to make a one-time donation each year, saving you time, hassle and guilt
Most importantly, it helps you to be part of making a difference in supporting our school community.
Ways to give:
