Fundraising

The BCES PTA plans to sponsor FIVE main fundraisers this year. We need your help as we continue to support the teachers, administration, and staff to build a solid academic and safe environment for our students.

Why do we conduct so many fundraisers?

Our approach is to offer BCES families many different ways to support the school. Some families have a wide network of relatives and associates to whom they can offer products like the Citipass books, others like to purchase the items we offer, and some families would rather just participate in the Annual Membership & Giving Drive.

How much money do we want to raise this year?

Our goal is to raise over $50,000. Although we need to carry over funds to start the next new school year, the intention is to spend most of the money in the same year it is raised.

What are the top funding initiatives?

  • Funding over $20,000 for teacher programs, supplies and training
  • Providing over $28,000 in student supplies, school programs, technology and resources
  • Creating a school technology roadmap with the goal of equipping all of the classrooms with SMART Boards over the next 3 years
  • Two cultural enrichment programs for all grades
  • Foster relationships with the business community while bringing families together

2009-2010 Top Fundraisers

Passive Fundraisers

  • Rapid Refill will reimburse the school for recycling used printer cartridges. Please don’t throw your used ink cartridges away! Bring them to the collection box to the left of the main office. If you can collect them from your office or workplace, that’s even better!
  • BoxTops For Education is a simple, yet great way to earn money for the school. Yes, it really is worth it to clip those Boxtops! Last year, the PTA received over $1000 from Boxtops for Education program. Look for them on General Mills, Betty Crocker, Ziploc and other products. We will be sending out more information soon about an upcoming drive for Boxtops, so start clipping today!
