PS11 Annual Fund 2011/2012
$50 MATCHING DRIVE FEBRUARY 1ST-29TH
Thank you to everyone who made a donation during our Matching Drive. We increased our participation rate to 42%. If you missed this opportunity, no worries. Please consider making a donation at any time and helping us to reach our goal of 100% family participation.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAMS THAT MAKE PS11 GREAT
Once again, the Department of Education has cut our budget. Your PTA is being asked to contribute more to pay for the amazing extras that would otherwise be unavailable to all of our children. Your generous contributions support:
Math and Literacy Programs ~ Swimming Pool ~ Ballroom Dancing ~ Theater Programs ~ Fall Festival ~ Art Department ~ Classroom Books ~ Chess Club ~ Gym Equipment ~ Music Department ~ Family Nights ~ Welcoming Parties ~ Yearbooks and T-shirts for All Students ~ Graduation Celebrations ~ School Dances ~ Field Trips ~ Lunch, Recess and Afterschool Programs ~ CookShop ~ Greenmarket ~ Wellness in the Schools ~ Garden ~ Staff Appreciation ~ and much more!
All donations are welcome and appreciated.
In order to keep our programs going this year, we are asking each family to contribute $500. If you can contribute more, either on your own or through a corporate matching program, please do! Your donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. An Annual Fund donation form is available here.
If you are unable to at this time, please give what you can. Every contribution, no matter what size, is important to enriching your child's education. 100% Family Participation is what matters most.
There are many ways to contribute to PS11's Annual Fund
Make an ongoing contribution
If you bank online, it is very simple to sign up to make a weekly or monthly contribution to PS11's PTA. Go to your bank's website, set up "PS11 PTA" as a bill payee, and note the amount and frequency you'd like the payment to be made. All you will need is our mailing address, which is noted below.
Every single donation makes an impact and is helping our kids. Just $10 a week adds up -- if every family in PS11 donated $10 a week for the rest of the school year, we'd be $192,000 closer to our goals!
