Okay, so you’ve already read about what the PTO is and what it does, but the truth is that we couldn’t do anything without financial and logistical support. That’s where you come in! Below are some of the ways that you can offer support to PTO and the kids of Discovery Elementary. It includes volunteering your time, donating directly, passively and through in-kind giving.
Some parents have time. Some have money. Some have resources, connections or special talents to share. One thing is certain, however. Each of us has something to give, and every gift – no matter how big or how seemingly small – makes a huge difference to our school.
PTO is tasked with paying the salary of your child’s music teacher. That teacher sees every child on a weekly basis and teaches them everything from music history, to reading music, learning rhythm, playing recorders and piano, and singing. Many of you may remember last year’s Arts on the Green performance, where every grade got to perform several songs for their families. That’s all organized by their music teacher!
The PTO is committed to raising $200,000 this year through active and passive fundraising activities.
Without your generous cash donations, we simply could not continue to support the long list of programs that enrich our children’s elementary school experience – programs like art, science, music, Accelerated Reader and so much more.
We appreciate donations of any amount, at any time during the school year.
Please consider doubling your donation by asking your employer to match it! All donations are tax deductible using Tax ID# 33-0756834. Thank you for your generous support!
Note: Please make checks payable to “Discovery Elementary PTO”
Without the countless hours of help from all of our dedicated Discovery volunteers, none of the events and after-school activities we put on would get off the ground. This is where you come in.
We need your help to continue making these events the success they’ve been year after year. In fact, this year we want to make them better than ever! So come on out to a PTO meeting, or send us a message, or follow our social media accounts and we’ll keep you informed on what’s coming up so you can show your support and pitch in a few hours.
This is a list of the EASIEST ways you can support our school’s fundraising efforts. All you have to do is sign up for these programs online. Then shop like you normally do. (And please tell your friends and family to do the same!) Together we can earn Discovery FREE money – and it’s SO easy!
We’ve put together this handy little how-to guide to get you started. Yay!
We know some of our Discovery families have a business or a service or connections to both that could benefit our school. We would like to take this opportunity to come right out and ask for your help!
Our current needs include, but are not limited to:
