We Need Your Help!
This is going to be a great year full of learning and fun! To achieve this, we need your help. We would like to encourage families to make a direct donation to Walnut Grove Elementary through our "Dollar a Day" program. When you contribute to the Dollar a Day program, a 100% of your donation goes to supporting our students here at the Grove.
We request a booster donation of $1 a day for every day of school. That is just $180 per student for the entire year. Your "Dollar a Day" donation will provide funds to continue to support critical personnel and programs central to our children's learning.
Please take some time to reflect upon the impact a quality education has on our children and our community.

Benefit of Tax Deductibility
When considering how much to donate, please consider the following:
Most tax payers qualify for a 30%-50% tax deduction on donations to non-profits.
Walnut Grove PTA is a non-profit organization.
Therefore, if you gave $100, you'd be receiving a minimum of 30% back in taxes on that donation, resulting in your actual out-of-pocket donation ranging between $50-$70. And, Walnut Grove PTA would still receive $100.
Availability of Matching Funds
Finally, please check with your employers for matching funds! Bring your company forms to registration or drop them in the PTA room in the office and we will do all the processing on your behalf.
We are grateful for all the help and money that Walnut Grove parents give to better our children's education. Together with our teachers and staff we make this one of the top public schools in the state. In these tough economic times, it is up to us as a community to keep Walnut Grove top notch.
Contributions to Walnut Grove PTA are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. (Tax ID: 02-0547233)
