3. Every contribution matters!
4. This year’s goal is to raise $22,000 by January 31, 2017.
5. Why $22,000? Because that will pay for the Creative Arts and Sciences Programs and technology line items of the PTO’s budget. (These are the two largest line items in the PTO budget.)
6. Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS) brings 3 curriculum enrichment programs to each grade level. CAS is amazing! If you can, go to a CAS program. Better yet, volunteer for CAS.
7. CAS will cost $14,500 this year. CAS is required by Newton Public Schools and 100% funded by the PTO.
8. You can contribute by sending a check into school in your child’s folder or using this link: http://burrpto.org
9. Many companies have matching gift programs. Ask your employer to match your gift.
10.As of September 29, 2016, 22 families have contributed $3095 to the Burr Wolf Fund. A huge thanks to those who contributed early! It’s a fabulous start.
