JumpStart Acknowledgement
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the families / students who have contributed to the JumpStart Fundraising Program during the 2012-2013 School Year.
As of May 17, 2013, we have received a total of $36,500 from family donations. In addition to that, company matching amount of $7,415 has been either received or is on its way to PTA. Altogether, we have raised close to $44,000 since October 2012. Note that we have received five new donations since our March update. Many families contributed more than the suggested amount of $100 per child. Also, many parents used their company matching programs, and thereby, doubled their contribution amounts. Thank you all for your generous donations.
As our token of appreciation, each student who contributes to the JumpStart Fundraising Program has received a custom-designed reusable shopping bag.
The PTA JumpStart Fundraising is an on-going program; we are still accepting donations. 70% of your donation goes to your child’s classroom; the remaining 30% is used to fund numerous PTA events throughout the school year. So, if you haven't donated as yet, please use the above donation button to donate online or drop off a check.
We would also like to take this opportunity to honor the TOP FIVE contributing students and their families: Sriram Natarajan and Tara Natarajan, Annie Wu and Andrew Wu, and Siddhant Nayak. All of them have also obtained company match to even double their contribution. Thank you!
For a complete list of contributing students and the top three classes that either have the highest student participation or total amount of contributions, please see our Wall of Fame.
Thank You Note from Mrs. Gifford
