The Pleasantdale PTO is a private, non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization comprised of parents and educators who work together to provide enriched learning opportunities for our children. On April 12, 2024, we are hosting our biennial fundraising gala. The theme this year is: The Met Gala: Pleasantdale's Biggest Night Out, at The Elm in La Grange, Illinois. We expect 225 guests to attend. Our event we bsite can be found at: Pleasantdale.givesmart.com.
This is our primary fundraiser and funds many of the programs for our children. The PTO supports a wide variety of academic and cultural events around the community. Our
elementary school is also a 2023 recipient of the National Blue Ribbon - one of only 313 public schools in the entire country! To win the distinction, our students scored in the top
15% of all students in the state in Read, English and Math. Our principal, Ms. Tomei, traveled to Washington, DC to accept the award last month.
We need your help. Our goal for the fundraiser is to raise $75K to support some of our goals such as safety improvements in the district, supporting early learners, and earlier identify students who may be in need of services due to a disability. Truly, every dollar counts for this fundraiser. We are asking for cash or in-kind donations to be auctioned in support of our PTO. Your tax-deductible donation enables us to continue these programs and promote your
business within the Pleasantdale community, which is made up of approximately 500 families. Our tax ID number is 82-0874532.
Finally, our committee recently created this announcement video for the event to give you a better idea of the amount of time and care we spend on this event from the start: https://vimeo.com/870538259/713c09ac31?share=copy.
