Fundraising Objectives for the 2009-2010 School Year

 

The PTA will spend approximately $55 per child this year on the many educational and cultural arts assemblies and other programs and events that we either sponsor or support.  We hope you will agree that our programs are worth your continued support.  Our Board is aware that fundraising puts a burden on our families and our volunteers.  We are working very hard to make fundraising as painless as possible by reducing our budget where we can, by reducing the number of fundraisers we will run this year, and by limiting our fundraisers to those that offer high value or quality, convenient substitutions for items that you would purchase routinely elsewhere.

 

There are several ways you can support the fundraising efforts of the PTA at Marion Jordan:

 

Direct Donation - make a tax-deductible donation to the PTA at the start of the school year ( click here to get our Direct Donation Form);

 

 

Manna Gift Card Program - purchase gift cards as gifts or for everyday use and earn a percent of the profit for our school at no extra cost to you;

 

Market Day Monthly Grocery Program – purchase convenient, quality foods while returning a percent of the profit to our school;

 

 

Raffle/Silent Auction - donate or bid on items in our Raffle/Silent Auction at our annual Fun Fair family event on February 26th.

 

If you would like to become more involved in our fundraising efforts or donate an item or service toward our Fun Fair Raffle/Auction, feel free to contact Christine Fiore or Rose Jusi as Ways and Means co-chairs. Alternatively, you can contact Cindi Jeon and/or WendySeidman, PTA Co-Presidents if you would like to help with any of our other PTA efforts.
