Parent-driven fundraising can have a real impact when it comes to supporting teachers in their classrooms and paying for “extras” we’ve come to expect: from field trips to gardening programs to science nights and school plays – in some cases even helping to meet the cost of certain staff positions.

Join PEN to learn about the potential and limitations of parent fundraising, including:

• Who can raise money for what 

• How to set fundraising priorities and goals as a school community

• How to ask for money

• What fundraising can look like at schools without much capacity to donate

• Examples of successful fundraising campaigns

When: Wednesday, March 11, from 6 to 8 pm (light dinner provided)

Where: McKinley School library
