OctoberfestThe school traditionally holds this event to raise

money for our Technology Fund with a 10% tithe to the Missions Fund.

The morning is regular classes, then the students dress up, we have a costume parade complete with judges and awards, then we take the afternoon to play carnival games in the gym, go through the Haunted House run by Youth Ministry ( Go, Lisa!) and the 8th graders.

Lots of volunteers and donations are needed to make this a successful day of fun and fundraising for our school.

Fundraising Activity Fee

1.FAF was instituted years ago to encourage full participation in retail fundraising sales.

2.Not associated with student participation in school or athletic association activities.

3.Gives families a goal and a “buy-out” option.

4.Funds raised go toward general school expenses/budget.

Page 24: PTT Parents and Teachers Together

Fundraising Activity Fee EventsIn 2014, the PTT changed the program for the fundraising activity fee. Instead of hosting several different product sales and asking you to sell lots of items frequently, we ran two sub sales in 2014to provide our families opportunities to earn their FAF instead of paying it out of pocket .

Page 25: PTT Parents and Teachers Together

FAF participation 2013-2014Fall sub/sandwich sale

Spring soup/sandwich sale

82 of 154 families participated

27 of 82 raised 1/3-1/2 of their FAF

57 of 154 families participated

21 of 57 raised 1/3-1/2 of their FAF

Only 12 families raised >$140 of their total $150 FAF

Many families that participated in the Fall sale did not participate in the Spring sale.

Most families are choosing to pay out of pocket for at least ½ of their FAF.

Page 26: PTT Parents and Teachers Together

FAF plans 2014-2015The PTT decided to offer a different sale item this

year, with a greater profit margin, with hopes of revitalizing participation.

The Fall sale item is Kidstuff Books.The late winter/spring sale will continue to be subs

and sandwiches.It is hoped that the greater profit margin on the

books will not only allow a greater % of families to earn a larger portion of the FAF but also generate funds needed to support the curriculum and community enhancements provided by the PTT.

Volunteer Hours programEach family is required to volunteer for 20 hours at school

activities per school year.The PTT is asking each family to track their own hours

including the date, the #hours, and the event or activity at home for now, while we work on an electronic system.

Hours are required to remain eligible for certain scholarships and tuition assistance.

Any activity related to the school counts, please see your handbook for a comprehensive list. If you aren’t sure if an event or activity counts, please contact the school office.

Some hours can be earned at home, depending on the work required for certain events, for example- organizing data or forms.

PTT= all of us

The board meets monthly, 11 times a year, yet we support the school in a variety of activities all throughout the school year. We provide the backbone for you to participate in your child’s school life. We need you to choose that activity or activities that best suits your interests and life and jump in! Your volunteer hours can be earned having fun and spending time with your child.
