While your tax monies go to the educational resources of the school, such as teacher salaries, textbooks and operating expenses, the many extracurricular experiences your children benefit from would not happen without you and your support of the PTO. The earnings from each school's PTO fundraiser are pooled together and divided per student amount among all three elementary school's PTOs. Each year the PTOs spend approximately $60 per student on these activities.  

The annual Walk-A-Thon is the PTO's main source for raising funds. This is a donation-based fundraiser and all 3 elementary schools participate. TK PTO receives 100% of all cash and check donations and 96% of online donations received from 99 Pledges. This year is the 15th Annual Walk-A-Thon and will be held on Friday, October 20, 2023. Each building's walk times are below.

McFall: 1st/Pilecki 9:15-9:55 am  Y5/K 10:20-10:50 am 

Lee: 2nd 1:00-1:30 pm 3rd 1:40-2:10 pm

Box Tops for Education:

Box Tops for Education has announced that they will be going digital! You will still be able to earn money for your schools with Box Tops, but instead of clipping Box Tops from participating product packages, you can simply now set up an account and scan your receipts and Box Tops will automatically donate the money earned to your school! The schools still earn 10¢ for each Box Top item purchased! Visit www.boxtops4education.com for more information.  

Paper Gator 

Recycle your newspapers, catalogs, magazines, phone books and other papers and help the elementary schools earn money at the same time. We cannot accept any type of cardboard (including cereal boxes, tack board, or non-corregated cardboard), metal, plastic or trash. The Paper Gator recycling bins are located in three locations. One is located at McFall Elementary in the south east corner of the east parking lot, at Lee in the bus loop, and at Page Elementary. We earn $20 for every ton of paper waste collected. McFall, Lee and Page share the revenue equally.
