2010-2011 PTSA DONATION PROGRAM

Last year, your direct donations, along with additional PTSA fundraising, a Village of Pinecrest $10,000 grant and the Pinecrest Business Association’s Taste of Pinecrest $5000 donation were used to provide over $62,000 worth of services and equipment to our school community. This included the ability to fulfill approximately $40,000 worth of teacher and department requests for our school, students and staff. In 2009-2010, the purchases and funded services included:

• $18,700 Technology enhancements including Smart Boards, computers, LCD projectors, document cameras, wireless mike systems, special education proposals
• $13,250 Performing Arts: musical instruments, auditorium headsets
• $9,630 Educational materials including Media Center and classroom books, magazine subscriptions, evening and off campus educational programs, and parent communication through the newsletter and website.
• $10,700 Staff appreciation and recognition events
• $5,700 Student recognition, reading celebration, college fair and graduation support
• $4,000 Professional Development
  

This year, with the continued dramatic cuts in school funding and economic instability, every donation counts. There is no donation too small or too large.

ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Thank you and I look forward to another wonderful year,
