In the past, PTO held one fall and one spring fundraiser. Money raised from these 2 events (magazine, cookie dough, gift wrap sales, walk-a-thons, day of awesomeness, etc) were pooled at the end of the year and use to gift the school something big that was needed.
- Cafeteria courtyard seating
- Playground equipment
- Fence sign on Vanderbilt Rd
- Benches and trash cans around campus
Teacher and team grants program was started a few years ago. 10 teachers and 4 teams are usually chosen by the board and given several hundred dollars.
Family fun events include Fall Festival and a winter evening celebration. These events are free though we often also offer paid activities like a rock wall or shaved ice truck.
Whole school is rewarded with ice pops for money raised through Box Tops.
PTO sells spirit wear and started a small school store 2 years ago. Money collected from events like these just offset the cost of the event. Only the 2 big fundraisers make money for VES.
Movie Night, staff welcome lunch, staff appreciation week…
