The Laurelhurst Elementary Annual Giving Campaign to fund the PTA’s operating budget, is underway and runs through tomorrow. 100% of the contributions go directly to the students and staff.
The PTA told the Laurelhurst Blog:
We would like to spread awareness to the larger Laurelhurst community of all that the PTA fundraises and supplements to Laurelhurst Elementary School students, $750 per student., which ultimately contributes to it's strength in NE Seattle.
We would also like to rally our neighborhood for donations and support. Ideally we think that there are many former LES students and neighbors who would be happy to contribute the success of our neighborhood public school.
We also think it would be interesting for the community to know that as our school boarders have grown, our demographics have shifted. We now have a small population of homeless students as well as 25% on free and reduced lunch, and every year there's a smaller subset of families who are giving more to maintain the same high level of educational and tutoring assistance.
As a neighborhood, we all have a vested interest in the success of our neighborhood school. We are hoping to raise $200,000.
