Fundraising at Maple Grove
Fundraising is NOT the primary goal of the Maple Grove PTA. We raise funds to support the activities and programs at Maple Grove. We hope to enhance the education of our children, and for this purpose, we provide funds to the classroom and for PTA sponsored enrichment programs. We believe that PTA can contribute the most to the enrichment of our children's education by supporting the school with volunteers.
READ, RUN, and PARTY!
The Maple Grove PTA is involved in lots of activities and fundraisers and sometimes all of the announcements and calls for participation may seem overwhelming. The opportunities PTA provides for our students are diverse and plentiful; they enrich our student’s lives with afterschool activities and support in-school upgrades. Amazingly, all the many events and services PTA supports are mainly funded by three yearly fundraisers. These fundraisers ask for Maple Grove families to participate in just THREE valuable endeavors yearly, in order to raise money to support the plethora of PTA offerings. All we ask is that you Read, Run, and Party!
READ - Grizzly Reading Challenge - Fall 2019
All Maple Grove students are invited to participate in a fun week of reading! All levels of ability are encouraged and reading to your child counts. Pledge to read a certain amount of minutes and get your family and friends to support you with donations to the school.
Postcards have been sent home and can be completed with the name and address of five different family members or friends that are not at your home address.
To participate, there should be five postcards per family completed and brought back to school by Friday October 18th. We will take care of the mailing.
The Reading Week will be November 2 – 10, but there is no deadline on donations. Reading logs are due back by November 15th.
Each student that turns in their post cards AND reading log will receive $10 in Book Fair Bucks to spend at the Book Fair in December. If we get 60% school participation, students will get to witness Mr. Neville eating chocolate bugs! AND the top readers in each grade get to enjoy a special lunch with Mr. Neville.
BUY OUT OPTION – you can buy out the program by making a $60 donation (per student) to the PTA. If you choose to send in a check, it must be received by October 18th and labeled Grizzly Reading Challenge Buy Out and note your child’s name and teacher. Buy out students will receive the Book Fair Bucks and count toward whole school participation.
This buy out is in place of the post cards; reading logs must still be completed in order to receive Book Fair Bucks.
Suggested goals to pledge: K – 2nd 150 mins 3 – 5th 300 to 400 mins
