During these meetings, teachers will have the opportunity to discuss curriculum and ways to align the curriculum. Vertical teams will have have a new challenge this school year as they will plan 1 family/student family event.

Invest in a Child!
Invest in Your Child Fundraising is a fundraiser that relies on monetary donations to our school. Unlike traditional fundraising, done through product sales, 100% of the money raised through the “Invest in Your Child” campaign goes to benefit ELMS. Schools across the country have adopted the “Invest in Your Child” approach and have eliminated the need for traditional fundraising all together. We’re not sure we’re there yet, or if we even want to be, we just want to provide our parents with options to enable them to contribute and make a difference in our school.
Here’s how “Invest in Your Child” works:
It’s definitely a simpler approach to fundraising.
- Information is sent home to ELMS families.
- Parents/Families/Community Members make a donation payable to the ELMS PTSO for the current school year, which may be tax deductible. Every student who donates a specific amount (anywhere from $10 to $30 a child), will be entered in prize drawings. The prizes will be rewarded in a similar way to the traditional fundraiser prizes were awarded.
- Monetary contributions will be used to meet the needs of our children and our school.
- We will have a goal to reach in terms of a money amount and/or tangible item goal, the PTSO will consider eliminating traditional fundraising from third-party vendors. However, if the goal is not met the traditional fundraisers may be needed to reach the goal. ELMS PTSO will still sponsor a Fall and Valentine Dance.
