THE BURR PTO PRESENTS 

Burr Wolf Fund

The Burr Wolf Fund launched last week is accepting contributions now through January 31, 2018.  You can contribute to the Wolf Fund by sending a check (made payable to Burr PTO) in your child's folder or going to Burr PTO's website at www.burrpto.org and clicking on the "donate" link to donate via PayPal.

The Burr Wolf Fund is the PTO's annual fall fundraiser that raises a significant portion of the PTO's budget and  helps pay for the PTO's two largest (and two very important) line items: Creative Arts and Sciences and technology.

Creative Arts and Sciences (CAS) provides multiple curriculum-aligned programs at each grade level. CAS is fully funded by the PTO. The PTO purchases technology, like iPads and interactive projectors, for use in classrooms. The PTO also funds other curriculum and enrichment programs, community building events, teacher supplies, the 5th grade fund and more.

This year's Burr Wolf Fund goal is to raise $26,000 by January 31, 2018. Please contribute an amount you are comfortable with: we greatly appreciate any and all contributions! Every contribution makes a difference in our students' experience at Burr!

If you have any questions, please email the Burr Wolf Fund team at wolffund@burrpto.org
