Typically we have 2 major fundraisers each year. Our Back to School Fundraising Drive and the Spellathon. Together, these events raise over 80% of our annual operating budget. In addition to those events are easy, passive ways to contribute even more just by doing the things you do every day!
Shop at the places you normally do everyday, and help earn donations for Earhart PTA. Earhart School & PTA are greatly appreciate your support!
Visit smile.amazon.com, select Amelia Earhart Elementary PTA as your organization, and .5% of your eligible purchases are donated to our PTA. And yes, shopping smile.amazon.com through the Amazon app is now supported! Visit this page to learn how to do the easy set up on the app. Renewal is required 2x a year and Amazon will remind you.
Create an account, select Amelia Earhart School PTA as your organization, link your cards, shop as you normally do; eScrip will do the rest! A portion of what you spend at select merchants will be donated back to Earhart. You can also purchase gift cards that provide a certain percentage back in donations. Learn more.
Matching GiftsDoes your company offer a Matching Gift program? When you make a financial donation directly to our PTA (membership dues, BTS Fundraising Drive, Spellathon, etc.) your donation could be doubled by your company. All you need to do is file the required paperwork (typically online) with your company and they’ll send a check directly to us!
Each year between Thanksgiving and the December break, the PTA hosts a book fair. It’s a great way to polish off some holiday shopping and proceeds help purchase books for the classrooms and help raise money for the PTA. If you are interested in volunteering for the book fair [you receive credit towards purchases by volunteering], please contact our Book Fair Chair – Jennifer Perez .
The annual Spell-a-thon is held in the winter before Spring break. Each family is encouraged to collect pledges from family and friends and each child participant is entered in a drawing. Many businesses in our community donate prizes. It is a great fundraiser for our PTA and with skits, puzzles, and contests, it is much more fun than selling gift wrap and cookie dough!
This drive is our largest fundraising push. At the beginning of each school year we ask families to join PTA ($15 membership dues) and donate to our back to school fundraising drive as they are able. Thanks to our generous families, we are typically able to raise nearly 60% of our annual operating budget from this one drive.
