Wolf Fund Kick Off - Be Part of the Pack!
This year our Burr PTO fundraising goal is approximately $47,600, which helps to fund our school’s technology needs, all of our amazing Burr community events, supplies for teachers and classrooms, and curriculum enhancing programs such as Creative Arts & Sciences.
Here is an overview of the fundraising campaigns and events you’ll see coming this year, including a few new parent events, as we look to meet or exceed our goal. Thank you for all of your support.
The Wolf Fund: Our annual fall fundraising campaign that covers approximately half of the PTO goal. The Wolf Fund kicks off the first week in October this year and our goal is to meet the target by January 31st next year. Letters with details went out in folders this week, and the link to donate online is here: https://www.burrpto.org/.
Cornhole and Crockpots Parent Night, Friday, October 18th: Parents only!! Join fellow Burr parents for a fall game night at Jenn Reale’s house. Details and signup here: http://bit.ly/burrcrocktoberfest2019
Online Auction: The online auction happens in late January, and offers the opportunity to score many great camps, experiences, travel, restaurants, and fun items. **Burr parents who run businesses, let us know if you are interested in adding your services or items to the auction, we love to support our local community!
The Book Fair: The Burr PTO and Porter Square books bring you the Burr Book Fair, November 1st through 6th, in the library and art room. Details coming soon, and many times morning, day, and evening to browse this year’s curated book selection. New this year, author night on Wednesday, November 6th, featuring local author Jacob Kramer (Noodlephant). Jacob will read Noodlephant, which is illustrated by Burr extended family, and will do a Q&A and sign books. Noodlephant art projects in the art space!
Parent Prom: New this year! Parent prom party night and silent auction featuring the best of the 80’s and 90’s. Location TBD, mid-March date so be on the lookout for details.
Other Fun Stuff! Through the year, we run several other events to make sure we meet our fundraising goal, such as the sleepunder, Mayfair, and Color Day. However, there’s always room for more community fundraising events, so if you have an idea or want to host or coordinate event, please feel free.
