Give. Click. Collect. Attend.
Fundraising is an integral part of any PTO mission! We spin our pinwheel in a number of ways, all the with the aim of:
Financially supporting faculty special needs.
Developing financial soundness and growth to meet the needs of JA.
We achieve these goals through both ongoing fundraisers and event-based fundraisers.
Scope the Events Calendar for all upcoming events. We hope to see you soon!
Ongoing fundraisers include the following, many of which fall into our favorite category - FREE MONEY!

As a parent or caregiver, your annual fees assist us in funding classroom parties and other special class events, as well as teacher appreciation celebrations throughout the school year. Single child: $25; Multiple children: $40. It's never too late to make your family's contribution.
