“When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes
wore capes, flew through the air or picked up buildings
with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of
attention. But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now
I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help
a child is a hero to me.” ~ Fred Rogers
Be a hero. Give a little. Help a lot.
Alice Smith Elementary PTO 100% FUNdraiser
This year Alice Smith Elementary PTO adopted a direct contribution approach to fundraising where
we are asking parents to donate money directly to a great cause – Alice Smith Elementary. This year
the PTO will not ask your child to sell wrapping paper and other items to raise money for our school,
instead we ask for your personal contribution, allowing 100% of every dollar donated to go directly
to our school.
The goal of the 100% FUNdraiser is for 100% participation, with every Alice Smith Elementary family
making a donation, no matter the dollar amount. The recommended donation is $50 per student,
but any amount your family can give will be appreciated. Donations of $50 or more will be matched
by an anonymous donor up to $5,000. We hope to raise $20,000 to support school programs that
benefit all Alice Smith Elementary students, such as: field trips, residency programs, Art Adventure,
Bravo Music, Heritage Festival, Imagination Fair, Book Swap, Parent Fair, Safety Patrol, playground
equipment, school directory, staff appreciation events, and much more.
Please complete the attached pledge form and give what you can. If you have family or friends who
would like to contribute, please request additional forms from the school office.
