Description

The Waugh PTO is a non-profit parent teacher organization that supports the Waugh School
District to fund Music, Art, Library and Technology programs and Teacher Classroom
Funds for Corona Creek Elementary and Meadow Elementary schools. Our organization has
funded these programs at almost 100% with the help of businesses like yours. With your help,
we hope to continue to provide the necessary funding for the students and teachers in the
Waugh School District.
Federal and State funding for Music, Art, Library and Technology programs has decreased to
nearly zero. 20 years ago, the tenacious parents, teachers, and community members of our
district worked together to provide funding to keep these programs intact bridging the gap
between state funding and district needs for these four pivotal programs. Teachers also continue
to struggle with funding, often dipping into their own pocket to support their students with
necessary supplies in the classroom. The Waugh PTO hopes to provide 100% of our teacher’s
classroom funds to supply their students with the necessary supplies for learning.
This year, the Waugh PTO is planning its 2025 Annual Gala in celebration of 100 years of the
Waugh School District! This Speakeasy themed 100-year celebration will be held on Saturday,
March 22nd from 5:30-10:00PM at Flying Cloud Farm in Petaluma, California. This will be a lively
evening including an all-you-can-eat-dinner, dancing, live and silent auction, photo booth and
DJ! Your donation will help ensure we meet our annual goal of $200,000 to continue providing
Music, Art, Library and Technology programs and Teacher Classroom Funds for the Waugh
School District.
We are asking if you would be generous enough to donate a gift certificate, product or
service from your business to be part of our live or silent auction.
Corporate sponsorship opportunities are also available. Please ask for more information,
if interested.
Your tax-deductible contribution will be prominently displayed at the event which draws nearly
200 guests from our district and community and promoted online to reach over 1500 people. As always, all guests in attendance are encouraged
to patronize our generous benefactors. Your gift will help us achieve our goal.
On behalf of the students, teachers and administration of the Waugh School District and
volunteers of the Waugh PTO, we are grateful for your time, consideration and generous support
in this most important effort. Thank you! Leigh Magnani Gala Co-Chair
