we fundraise exclusively so we can hold free family fun nights and school wide student activities throughout the year and our positive behavior school store (kids get coupons they use...no cash needed).
*Uniforms & equipment for sports teams
*Transportation costs for field trips
*Periodicals/curriculum for the classrooms
*Room money for our teachers
*5th grade camp scholarships and end-of-year party
Of course, we have lots of other things that we spend our money on like staff appreciation, saftey patrol, refreshments for events, etc. but the ones listed above are our "biggies".
Our Education Enrichment Fund is the biggest portion of our budget, but this year we are also planning a reading program that will require some big dollars. Other than that we pay for assemblies, some specialty teacher and school needs, and lots of small miscellaneous programs-some for fun, some that support education. We also started putting on a big back to school dinner during our Open House and we're planning some Family Nights for this year that we hope to have be free. We have paid for playgorund equipment before and last year purchased some new computers.
