Why does the PTA ask for money?
While we all pay taxes that support our schools, Fairfax County allocates only $115 per child for classroom supplies, and unfortunately that is not enough. As parents, it’s up to us to ensure our children have access to the best classroom materials and academic programs that will greatly enrich their educational experience.
Our primary fundraising events include:
Don’t forget to ask if your employer will match your charitable contribution, which might double or triple the benefit to the school.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
