The PTA will offer many opportunities for you to contribute financially to our school. The PTA does not expect every family to participate in every fundraising campaign. We offer a variety of opportunities that will be convenient, fun, and community-building for our school. Each family decides what works best for them.
Following are the fundraising activities planned for 2011-2012:
Fall Fling – September 16: Our biggest fundraiser of the year and a fun time to boot. Come enjoy the fun at the carnival booths and eat the great food. Don’t forget to donate an item to the silent auction or get in on the bidding yourself!
Scholastic Book Fair – The book fair runs for one week during the Fall. This is a good opportunity to purchase quality books at a good value. The teachers also create “wish lists” for their classrooms so that parents can supplement the classroom libraries. The PTA receives a percentage of all sales and receives free books based on the quantity of books sold. (The Spring Book Fair is library fundraiser – not a PTA fundraiser.)
School Directory – October: Complete your contact information in PTO manager and purchase a school directory. With a generous donation of printing, the $3 charged per directory goes straight to SES. The PTA also sells advertising space in the directory.
Read-A-Thon – All students participate in our wild Read-A-Thon. Sponsor your child for a flat amount or an amount per minute and watch them get to work. This fundraiser is a highlight of the year for many kids, teachers, and parents. We celebrate the joy of reading, work together to solve a some crazy mishaps, and raise money for the school.
CU Basketball Greeters – Date TBD: Join your SES friends as greeters and hand out posters at a CU Basketball Game and our school will receive a donation for the University of Colorado.
Women and Whine – TBD: This is a fun “Girls Night Out” for the women of Superior Elementary. With a small donation as your entry ticket, you can enjoy appetizers and wine while raising money for the school.
Chick Fil A Nights – TBD: Chick Fil A donates a portion of sales to Superior Elementary on specific nights. Watch the Creekside for more information on dates.
Year-Round Fundraising Campaigns:
Capital Campaign – Donations from individuals who wish to simply write a check. This is fantastic for parents whose employers (such as Sun, Microsoft, and Covidien) provide matching funds for charitable contributions. This is also a simple, straight-forward way to make a contribution and receive a receipt for the charitable contribution deduction available for both Federal and State Income Taxes.
Old Chicago Pizza Pals and Family Nights – Purchase the Old Chicago Pizza Pals Coupons for $11 and receive a pizza at Old Chicago with a value of up to $20. SES makes $5 on every coupon sold. Also look for Family Night dates when Old Chicago’s will donate a percentage of sales to SES.
Jamba Juice – In the fall and spring: Jamba Juice sells smoothies in front of the school on Wednesdays. The smoothies cost $3 and SES receives 20% of sales.
