Fundraisers
Fundraiser Overview
Why does the school need fundraisers?
The money raised by the PFC bridges the gap between what is covered by the district budget and what our children need for their education. The programs and improvements the PFC currently provides are paid for by these fundraisers.
The funds help pay for all of the following (and more!):
Positions
Classroom instructional aides for Kindergarten
Yard duties
Computer lab aide
Computer lab technician
Reading intervention programs
Instruction Resources
Computer/technology resources
Library supplies
Classroom supplies
Paper for staff
Playground equipment
Copy room program
In recent years, the MDE PFC has been able to reduce the number of fundraisers that require "selling" of a product (gift wrap, cookie dough, etc.). The fund-raisers that remain include those that are:
Direct donations
"Free money" for the school
Offer a fun, community-based activity
If we increase cash donations to the MDE Education Fund and meet our budget goals that way, we may be able to further reduce the number of fundraisers we ask you to support in the future.
