Shelton Elementary Direct Give Campaign
Dear Shelton Families and Community,
We are looking forward to an exciting year at Shelton! This September marks our Direct Give Fundraiser. This fundraiser will allow Shelton's PTSA to bring high-quality academic and extracurricular opportunities for all students. We raise most of our budget from this fundraiser, and we are so appreciative of the support received from parents like you to fund those opportunities. Make sure to come to a monthly PTSA meeting to learn more about all that PTSA funds at Shelton, all are welcome and encouraged to attend. We’d love to hear from you!
Here from our Shelton Teachers about why you should donate to the PTSA by watching this video.
INCENTIVE PRIZE: If we meet our goal of $35,000 by September 30th, PTSA will help fund the Sphero Little Bits STEM wall in the library! See this link for more information: Sphero STEM Wall
Don’t forget to ask for a company match to make your donation go even further! All donations are 100% tax deductible.
Our tax ID is 84-1279995.
If the goal is not met by September 30th, PTSA will explore other fundraising events and grants.
We are also planning for a Coyote Chase Fundraiser (Pledge Run) in Spring 2025 to fund a specific need.
Thank you in advance for supporting the Shelton PTSA and enhancing your child’s experience at Shelton Elementary.
Sincerely,
Shelton Elementary PTSA Board
