What is the Rosa Parks PTA Annual Fund?
Established in 2015, The Rosa Parks PTA Annual Fund is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year and helps pay for vital programs not covered by Berkeley Public School funds. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways we can raise money for our amazing school.
WHY SHOULD I GIVE? (i.e., I already give to other RP Fundraisers)
This year, the Rosa Parks PTA goal is to raise $175,000 to cover specific, budgeted PTA line items. We cannot rely on district funding alone to cover the cost of the education your child receives at Rosa Parks. The PTA spends 100% of the money raised the previous year to help fill the gap (after operations costs). For more information about where our money goes, please see our Fundraising Overview page.
PTA Fundraisers cover a variety of PTA programs. This year, the Annual Fund will directly cover the cost of School Site Committee Grants ($113k), PTA Grants ($52K), Programs and Events ($14K) including, but not limited to:
|
PTA Grants: Teacher Grants Science Lab Materials Summer Reading Club Kids Village Enrichment Scholarships Mock Trial Cooperative Play Games for ASH Art at Recess Sensory Stations Tech Challenge Artist in Residence Afterschool Enrichment Materials Makers Space STEAM Supplies Mosaic Resources |
PTA Events & Programs: African Descent Advisory Committee (ADAC) LGBTQ Families Committee Green Team LHS Family Math Night Green Schoolyard Committee 5th Grade Graduation Welcome Events Teacher/Staff Appreciation Community Mingles FRC Support & Family Nights Speakers & Events Childcare for Community Meetings |
HOW MUCH?
This year, the PTA hopes to spend more than $450 per child. Donations of ANY amount are welcome and appreciated. One useful guideline is ONE MONTH of what you budgeted for preschool, child care or summer camp.
