Located in the heart of downtown Mebane, a strong, supportive, family-friendly community in central North Carolina, our small public school, E.M. Yoder Elementary is a global school focused on helping to connect our students with the world through engaging our students in global inquiry related projects. 

 We are currently seeking donations for our annual Fall Festival on Oct 21, 2022. The Fall Festival is our biggest annual fundraising event of the year with more than 500 people attending. This year we anticipate even greater community involvement. We are requesting donations to help fund the FUN stuff for our festival with all proceeds raised going to support our school.  This year’s festival proceeds will go towards supporting our students and teachers in many ways throughout the year. One focus this year for our PTA is developing a natural play area for our school. Spending time in nature is essential for a child’s cognitive development and it stimulates creativity, problem solving skills, & improves concentration during the rest of the school day. 

There are three ways businesses or corporations have contributed: Festival Activity Sponsorship - become a recognized sponsor of a festival activity or game (Bronze Level $100, Silver Level $200, Gold Level $250); Cash or in-kind donations for supplies, prizes and more; Donations of items such as gift cards or products for our Gift Basket Raffle
