SANISLO’S ANNUAL FUND DRIVE IS UNDERWAY!
In 2008–2009, our country had the worst economic setback since the Great Depression. To make up for $9.1 billion in lost tax revenues, Washington state cut $1.5 billion from public education for 2009 and still faces a $1.25 billion shortfall in the education budget. Class sizes continue to grow, and funds for adequate staffing continue to shrink. We know that no one will accept less education for our children. We also know that the Sanislo PTA will be asked to support even more critical programming next school year, which is why we’re asking for your help.
EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS!
For many of us, every penny and every dollar must be well spent. Educating our children today is money well spent. Your generosity safeguards that education. We truly appreciate every penny and dollar you can give. They add up! We have options for you to donate online with monthly payment plans if that makes it easier for you to budget. Choose the amount and the timing that’s right for you!
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
The Sanislo PTA collaborates with our teachers, families and principal to determine what programs need support. These are just a few examples of how your donation could be put to use:
$15 pays for school supplies for one child.
$50 supports one after-school club.
$120 pays one field trip bus.
$500 allows one grade to see a performance at the Seattle Children’s Theater.
$2,000 supports the Washington Reading Corps at our school.
$10,500 pays for tutors in our classrooms.
$23,500 pays for a part-time Instructional Assistant.
$42,300 funds a part-time teacher.
The Sanislo PTA also supports music programs, our office assistant and our school nurse. We work very hard to make sure every dollar is spent wisely on programs that are important to our students and the school. Please help us reach our goal of $35,000! We can make our Annual Fund a success together!
