What is Direct Drive
The Direct Drive is our largest fundraiser. We are still planning some fun events in spring, but there will not be a separate request for staff holiday gifts and appreciation – that has been rolled into the overall PTSA budget.
Your child will be coming home with a Golden Envelope on 10/18. We recognize that each family’s situation is different, so our focus is on participation -each student returning a gold envelope. Regardless of the amount you contribute or if you contribute on-line. Please send the golden envelope back to school with your child by Friday, 11/1. You can also drop it off at the school office. Each classroom that has at least 80% of their envelopes returned will get $300 to spend on their classroom library and materials!
The needed supplementary funding for the 2024-2025 school year is $261,560, the equivalent of $659 per student. Our goal is to raise $175,000 ($428 per student) with the Direct Drive, which is 67% of the total budget. See below for Fundraising details.
