How Do We Raise Funds?

 

Newman Elementary PTA has several exciting ways to raise funds to support our school!

 

Our Spirit Nights are a fun opportunity for families to purchase food or items from local businesses, which then donate a percentage of their sales to our PTA.

 

Spirit Gear sales are another great way to show school pride while contributing to our efforts. Check out our Spirit Store here!  

 

Shopping at the Fall and Spring Book Fairs is another way to help us raise money!

 

Additionally, our Community Partners donate money at different levels in exchange for advertising and recognition.  To learn more about becoming a Community Partner- click here!

 

We also host two traditional fundraisers each year—one in the Fall and our beloved Spring Carnival, which is a big hit with everyone!

 

Did you know that you can earn money for our school just by purchasing your groceries?! Box Tops for Education is an awesome way to help us by buying things you were already buying anyway! Check out Box Tops for Education to connect your Walmart app or scan your grocery receipts!  They will send Newman a check twice a year (December and April).  Kroger also has a similar program!  Learn more about Kroger Community Rewards and start earning for Newman- Click here!

 

Don’t forget, your membership dues play a crucial role in making all the great things we do possible, so join the PTA today!

 

 

 Why Do We Raise Funds?

 

Raising funds is essential for the Newman Elementary PTA to provide the best possible educational experience for our students. The PTA donates thousands of dollars every year to enhance learning and support our school community in various ways. Your contributions help fund books, technology, school-wide and grade-level assemblies, campus beautification projects, materials, manipulatives, and supplies.

 

We provide every teacher and student with a grade-level t-shirt each year at no cost to families. Our PTA also sponsors three class parties: Winter Party, Valentine’s Day Party, and End of the Year Party. We also donate towards a 5th grade end of the year special celebration!  You might not realize that PTA puts on the annual Popsicles in the Park event as well as a Fall social for families (Back to School Block Party).  We coordinate Room Parents for every teacher and manage the stage decorations for grade-level performances. Staff appreciation events, including luncheons, breakfasts, snack carts, and gifts, are another way we show our gratitude to our hardworking educators.

 

The PTA also supplies spirit sticks, which your children earn for positive behavior, character traits, and birthdays. We organize the book fair, donating profits to the school and providing books for the library and individual classrooms.

 

These are just a few examples of how your support makes a significant impact. Your participation in our fundraising efforts directly benefits our children and enriches their educational journey.
