Annual Fund
The Groves Elementary Annual Fund provides a way to support the education and development of all children at Groves Elementary. Your tax-deductible gift will enable our children to experience school in a way that promotes pursuits toward life-long passions and continuous learning. Donations received through the Annual Fund will support programs and materials that enhance that experience at school. Contributions will go toward:
- Support Innovative Teacher grants not funded through other sources
- Specialized Teacher training to further enhance and personalize each child's school experience
- The creation of an outdoor learning classroom
- Grade level field trips and activities
Enriching the educational experience for Groves Elementary students is the goal of this campaign. We are thrilled to start our new journey with you as our partner. You can make a gift in support the Groves Elementary Annual Fund Campaign online, in person, or by mail.
Thank you in advance for your gift to the Groves Elementary Annual Fund.

You may purchase spirit shirts for the whole family on-line through Sunday, August 26th. Shirts will be delivered to your child’s classroom in early September. The online shop is at https://grovespto.membershiptoolkit.com
2. PTO Membership – Join PTO for only $7.00 per family annually. Your membership and participation helps maintain a relationship with the parents, school and community and enhances the quality of our children’s education by raising funds to purchase supplemental materials and equipment and expand technology opportunities for the students and teachers. You can join PTO online at https://grovespto.membershiptoolkit.com
3. Class Party Fund – We ask parents to contribute $15 per child to help fund the seasonal class parties. Class party funds can also be paid online at https://grovespto.membershiptoolkit.com
4. Open PTO Positions – PTO has several open positions including Social Events Coordinator, Holiday Coordinator, Pre-K Coordinator, 4th Grade Coordinator, Outdoor Beautification, and Yearbook Photographers. Please email grovesptovp1@gmail.com for more information.
5. Room Parents – This year, room parent requests will be coming from your child’s teacher. Look for a communication from them in the coming weeks.
Finally, the district is enforcing its policy that does not allow district employees to collect PTO funds. In order to be compliant with this policy, all funds for PTO must be collected online through our links above or given directly to a PTO representative. If you would like to pay for any of these dues in person, PTO will be at school on designated dates to collect form and money. Stay tuned for updates via social media, email or text updates.
