McGaugh PTA will be holding its annual Silent Auction and Aloha Carnival Festival on October 19, 2024 and would
greatly appreciate an in-kind donation to be used in our silent auction. McGaugh Elementary serves approximately 760
students and is the largest elementary school, grades TK-5, in the Los Alamitos Unified School District. The mission of
McGaugh Elementary PTA is to positively impact the lives of all children and families through representation,
empowerment, and support with skills in advocacy, leadership, community, connection, and communication. McGaugh
PTA fundraises to be able to enhance students’ education by providing supplemental programs and events such as:
music and art education, field trips, STEM, Astronomy, and Math nights, Jester book dedication readings to enhance our
library, International Culture Club to promote cultural learning and experiences, classroom enhancements. A Wellness
Center for social/emotional learning and support, and so much more. In addition, we coordinate family friendly events
that build community as well as enhance students' education and learning experiences

The Carnival is the most important fundraising event McGaugh Elementary PTA coordinates during the school year to
fund our PTA's annual budget. McGaugh PTA works tirelessly to put together this event ourselves (100% volunteer) so
that we can maximize our profit which goes directly to fund the many different programs and events as mentioned
above. The McGaugh Carnival is McGaugh PTA’s biggest community event of the school year and will be attended by
over 500 individuals. It provides an opportunity for families and the community to join together for an afternoon of
games, activities, food, music, and just plain fun at minimal cost. It also serves as a fundraiser for McGaugh PTA to be
able to provide the above mentioned programs and events that enrich students’ education.
