Description

We are a Parent-Teacher-Student Association that services a campus of around 2,600 PreK-12th students as well as administration, teachers and staff in general.   Our Fall Festival is our biggest fundraiser of the year.  It consists of fair type booths (designed and ran by teachers, parents and students), entertainment, a country store, vendors, imformational booths, special guests, a large silent auction, food and fun!  The amount we raise at our Fall Festival directly impacts how much we will be able to do for our school in the current school year.  Proceeds will be used in various ways such as:  purchasing items the school cannot otherwise fit into their budget, filling requisitions from teachers and administration, grounds beutification, philantrophy projects, sponsoring special guests and/or projects on campus, supporting our 5 cqampus libraries and much more.   Some examples from just this past year include:  purchasing a new sound system, furniture and landscaping for our Fine Arts Center, giving money to each library to purchase new books (we do this every year), having erected a covered outdoor pavillion to use for shade during recess and as an outdoor classroom, helping purchase laptops and Ipads for students to use, running a project in which anyone in our district (whether they have a student in school or not) could request smoke detectors that we would provide and our local fire department would install), running a 'spirit closet' from which we school themed shirts and gear for students who can not otherwise afford them (yearly project), funding and aiding in Red Ribbon Week and Meet a Veteran Day, helping with unbudgeted needs throughout campus and much, much more.  We are seeking donations for our silent auction at the Fall Festival, which raises roughly 1/3 or more of our proceeds.   Any donation will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
