Fundraising
Fundraising is an important function of the PTA because it’s how we raise money to provide our students and community with the classroom support and programs that our kids, teachers and school community have come to count on each year.
Fundraising Quicklinks
Our goal is to raise $50,000 in donations, sponsorships, and corporate matching for the 2022-2023 school year. If we don’t meet that goal during our annual membership and pledge drive, then we fundraise in other ways throughout the year.
We know that many families in our community have experienced hardships during these unprecedented times. We suggest a Sponsorship Donation of $300, which includes a PTA membership and yearbook. However, donations of any amount are always appreciated.
We hope you will join us in our mission to enrich our students’ and families’ school experience. Thank you for helping make Spring Valley one of the best schools in California!
WHAT SPECIFIC THINGS ARE PTA FUNDS USED FOR?
Your donation dollars work to provide a well-rounded, quality education for your child. Here are some of the supplies, activities, community events, and services that are funded solely by the PTA.
The PTA provides funds to supplement parents' Supply Donations, which are used to provide students with all the school supplies and learning materials for the year.
