Hello, OLD SETTLERS ELEMENTARY PTA Old Settlers Elementary School would like to share with you that on April 19th, 2024 our school will host its annual carnival event, "STARfest" from 5 - 8 p.m. at our school campus. This is a great opportunity for our amazing Star students, families, teachers and staff to enjoy an amazing and fun afternoon together! The event typically brings together some 600+ people. It is also the single largest fundraising event for our PTA throughout the year. We are reaching out to share that a donation for our online auction would be a great way to support our school, as well as an opportunity for others to learn about your business. PTA supports many activities for our Kindergarden-5th grade students throughout the year, such as Art & Science Night, Internet Safety Week, Red Ribbon Week, school classroom garden, Earth Day, class parties, Walk/Bike to School, Field Day, Diabetes Walk, and many more! With your support, we can continue to offer exciting and educational programs for our students at Old Settlers. All donations received will be highly publicized and recognized on social media outlets, such as our Facebook, website, newsletters, morning announcements, bulletin boards/posters throughout the school, our feeder middle and high schools, LISD communications, and local community newspapers. In fact, last year our silent auction was shared with our school's 600 students/families and included 3,000 bids and 40,000 page views! Therefore, anything you could provide for our online auction would be greatly appreciated, as well as heavily publicized. Donated goods or services in any price range are welcome, as well as tax deductible. If you are not able to donate to the auction we also have a great opportunity to be a corporate sponsor. Your business would be advertised on our website, weekly newsletter, and all social media platforms to our more than 600 students, staff , and parents. I have attached paperwork showing the different levels of corporate sponsorship. Thank you in advance for your donation consideration. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. You are welcome to mail donations directly to the school or contact me and make arrangements for pick-up. We hope to receive all donations by March 28th, 2024. Again, thank you for your generosity and support of our students at Old Settlers Elementary School! Marlaena Moran
