Fundraising through the Annual Fund

Each year, the Bishop School PTO funds programs and events to supplement your children's school experience; to support the teachers, school and administration; or, to foster a sense of community with the school.  Programs and events, such as:

• Grade-specific and school-wide enrichment programs - Eyes on Owls, Poetry in Motion, Habitat Soil, Museum of Science Weather, and many more.
• Buses for field trips
• Online subscriptions for classrooms to support reading, math, spelling, and science
• School Clean Up Day projects
• Classroom supplies - paper towels, sanitizing wipes, glue sticks, tissues, and more.

The value of all PTO spending in 2013/14 was nearly $140/student!  And we have similar plans for this school year!

Funds to support PTO initiatives come from a variety of sources:

• PTO organizes fundraisers, such as the Bishop Bear Fair, the Walk-a-thon, the Great Pumpkin Sale, and others;
• Local and national programs such as Stop & Shop's A+ Rewards program, the PTO's advertising affiliation with Amazon.com; and
• Family support of the PTO's Annual Fund.

We are asking you to consider a gift to the PTO's Annual Fund for 2014-2015.  Your gift of $50 per child, will ensure that the PTO can continue to deliver the exceptional Enrichment programs and classroom support that is so valued in our school community.  We encourage you to give at your comfort level - every dollar counts!

Please consider a gift to the PTO's Annual Fund today!


Sincerely, 

The PTO Executive Board
