This coming Friday, May 30th is the last day of The Big Give. Thank you all for your generous support. So far, we’ve raised about 28% of our $30,000 goal. Without additional support by the end of this week, we risk the following cuts (among others!) for next year’s PTA Budget:

• Direct teacher support, including classroom supply budgets, mini-grants (examples include Thistle Theater assemblies, new sensory tools, extra math curriculum, field trip financial support) will be reduced

• Community and school events (Harvest Carnival, Earth Day garden party, all-school BBQ, Popsicles on the Playground) will be reduced

If you have not had a chance please consider donating to The Big Give. This important campaign represents 15% of the PTA budget and helps fund every child, every classroom, everyday. Our fundraising goal equates to $85 per student. Please consider a contribution in any amount to help us keep funding for all the wonderful programs at North Beach.

Please also remember there's a pizza party for the classroom with the most Employer Match donations (number of donations, not dollar amount raised) - see the post here for more information.  And don’t forget to email us if you have submitted an employer matching gift so we can record your donation for the pizza party!
