Description

Lawton Alternative School is a Kindergarten through 8th grade public school serving students throughout San Francisco, CA with a tradition of academic excellence.  Our school is a high-performing school and, as a result, receives limited public funding.  In addition, over 50% of our students qualify for a free or reduced fee lunch.  Therefore, much of the Lawton Alternative School Parent Teacher Association’s (PTA) focus is on fundraising efforts in order to provide essential support for our students and dedicated staff. 

 
The Lawton PTA is planning for our school’s annual Spring Carnival, scheduled for May 23, 2025.  The event is the highlight of the year for our students and an opportunity to celebrate their hard work and achievements from the school year.  It’s also a great way to reinforce our community while also having a lot of fun with food, games, and prizes.  The Spring Carnival is our PTA’s second largest fundraiser, and we’d like to ask for your support for our annual raffle, which is held in conjunction with the event.  Please consider a donation of your products, services, or gift cards/certificates to our raffle.  Your generous donation and business information will be recognized on our carnival flyers, which will be distributed throughout our school population of over 600 students and their families and friends.

 
Please also consider elevating your impact by becoming a Carnival sponsor.  As a sponsor, your organization’s name will be featured prominently in our promotional flyers and at the event.  Sponsorships start at just $250 – leverage this opportunity to enhance your visibility and community involvement.  For more information, please contact us at officers@lawtonpta.com. 

 
We appreciate your consideration of our fundraising efforts!  Your tax-deductible contribution is pivotal to the success of our upcoming event.  All proceeds from ticket sales will directly impact students and staff, empowering us to continue supporting language arts and science initiatives, library services, field trips, updated computer equipment, and music and art appreciation programs.


Please contact us at officers@lawtonpta.com if you have any questions.  We look forward to hearing from you!
