PTO "Pay the Day" Fundraiser ends September 5th.
Our “Pay the Day” Calendar Fundraiser starts Monday, August 21st and the due date to turn in your calendar envelope is Tuesday, September 5th.
● Calendars can be returned to your student’s teacher or you can have your students drop them off directly in the office. There will be a lock box in the office so money will be secure. Please make sure the student’s name & homeroom teacher are on the envelope!
● There are NO products for sale in this fundraiser – it is just a donation to the PTO. Our goal is to purchase school supplies for every student again next year, and to help kids earn prizes!
● Friends and family donate the dollar amount that corresponds to a date on the calendar. They write the person’s name on the date they choose, and collect their money. DONE! For example, August 22 = $22 donation to the PTO.
● Cash, checks made payable to “Young Elementary PTO” are acceptable payment methods, or you can PAY ONLINE by using the QR code on the envelope or by going to:
