Spark! Discovery Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) – Believe FundraiserImage result for believe kids

With your help, we are raising funds to support the following types of activities throughout the school year: 

  • Babysitting for events and meetings (various events throughout the year)
  • The cost of hosting the Spring 2024 school-wide carnival (May)
  • Ice-Cream Social (August 2024)
  • BooHoo Breakfast (August 2024)
  • Support for our Positive-Behavior Intervention supports (prizes for each classroom prize box, games, Star-Power tickets, etc.) 
  • Staff appreciation activities 
  • Staff grants for new and innovative ideas – fall and spring 
  • Trick or Treat Street expenses
  • A school basket for the Education Foundation Innovation Gala auction

During the previous school year (2023-2024), we made about $5,300 from this fundraiser, and we are hoping to beat this amount by raising over $6,000.  Funding for these activities and events does not come from other sources.  

Online orders are shipped directly to your home in a relatively short amount of time.  Orders using the paper forms sent this week, as well as any frozen items, are delivered to the school and will need to be picked up by families in November. Order packets can be turned in to the office or your child’s teacher. All orders, both paper order form or online (linked here), are due Monday, October 7th, by 3:30 pm. 

Sincerely,

Your Spark! PTO
