Our Write-a-Check fundraiser is under way! We've raised just over $7,000 and are almost a quarter of the way to reaching our $30,000 goal. Mrs. Ross’ class is very close to earning a doughnut party for excellent class participation. Ms. Ekegren's class is on track to earning an extra 10% bonus for bringing in the most funds as a class. We are almost at 20% participation as a school. Please spread the word about Write-a-Check!
**If you have multiple children and want to make one donation, just write the names of the students and their teachers in the memo notes and we'll split it for you.
Did you know the Springville PTO provides all teachers and specialists with funds to purchase the books and supplies they need for their classrooms? We also fund activities like staff appreciation, OBOB, field studies, field day, class parties, special grants, 5th grade celebration, and 8th grade celebration. These annual funds are possible because of donations from the families and friends of our Springville students. The fundraiser will end on October 11th, in just one week! It's not too late to help us reach our goal. Bring in $50 in cash or check to Springville PTO, or visit springvillepto.org and click to donate. All donations are tax-deductible. Thank you!
