Our fundraising goal for 2024-25 is $25,000 which will support the initiatives of the McKinley PTO - that's about $75 per student. Read below for your options on how to donate to ensure our gifted students and teachers get the support they deserve! At the beginning of the school year, we open up our Fund Drive and ask you to donate whatever you can to help cover our annual PTO budget. No amount is too small - every dollar donated helps us reach our goal! Remember, grandparents, aunts, uncles and family friends can donate too! Or, see if your company will match your donation. We are now a 501c3 and your donation us tax deductible!
Here's a sample of how your donation can help:
- A yearbook for every student at no cost to them
- Teacher appreciation events and gifts
- Classroom grants to further advance the education and needs of our students
- Grade level events and socials
- Field trips and buses
- 8th grade promotion activities
- School beautification
- At-risk student support
- And much more! For a breakdown of our current budget, click here (coming soon).
Three easy ways to donate:
#1 - Donate online here to pay with credit card or e-check.
#2 - Donate directly using Venmo - @McKinleyPTO-slps
#3 - Donate by sending a check made out to McKinley CJA PTO (tax-deductible) to school and have it put in the PTO mailbox, or mail it directly to our treasurer (Terri Gudowicz Green - email mckinleyptoboard@gmail.com for address)
*Donations will accepted outside those dates, but we try to base the current year budget on what we raise during this time period.
