Simple, Stress-Free Fundraising! No wrapping paper or cookie dough sales, no hitting up the neighbors or family to buy more magazines or candy. The Westpark Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is happy to provide an easier way to support our school - our Pledge Drive.
Every year the PTA raises funds to support program and material needs for our students and classrooms. The PTA fills an increasing gap, and allows our students to continue to receive a well-rounded experience in and out of the classroom.
Each year the Westpark PTA runs pledge drives which are our primary fundraisers of the year. This year the PTA budget is $80,000, allowing us to fund all of our amazing programs. The success of our pledge drive replaces the need for parents and students to sell cookie dough, gift wrap, candles or other door-to-door fundraisers held at other schools throughout the year. The PTA receives 100 percent of pledge drive proceeds, and our pledge drive goal for the 2013-2014 year is to raise $50,000. Where does this money go? Take a look at the list below for some of the items we hope to continue to fund this year:
