At the September 17 Walnut Grove PTA association meeting, questions that were either out of scope for the PTA meeting or required further investigation were placed in the "parking lot." These questions are listed below. 1. Computer lab -- how is it being used? The computer lab Walnut Grove PTA is a nonprofit organization that relies on fundraising and donations to support critical personnel and programs central to our children's learning. With budget cuts and other pressures, PTA fundraising is more important than ever. We truly appreciate your donations to support our school. Our suggested annual donation to the Dollar-a-Day campaign is $180/student or $250/family. But any amount is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use for our school! Please contact Kym Gentry-Peck if you have any questions. It costs over $180,000 per year for the PTA to continue funding these important items: TEACHERS
TECHNOLOGY
STIPEND TO SPECIALISTS
LIBRARY
PERFORMING ARTS
STUDENT AND SCHOOL COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
Walnut Grove PTA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization (tax ID: 02-0547233). Contributions to Walnut Grove PTA are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by the IRS. Please check with your accountant at tax time.
Many employers match their employees' contributions to nonprofit organizations. Please check with your employers to see if they will match your donation! You can sometimes apply for matching funds online through your company's intranet. You can also bring your company's forms to walk-through registration or drop them in the PTA room in the Walnut Grove school office. We are grateful for all the help and money that Walnut Grove parents give to better our children's education. We have partnered with our teachers and staff to make Walnut Grove one of the top public schools in the state. Education funding from the state continues to be low, so our school depends on community support to ensure that our students continue to thrive in a wonderful learning atmosphere.
