Flatirons Elementary PTO

The Flatirons PTO runs two fundraisers per school year in order to achieve our annual budget needs. In the fall, the Flatirons Annual Giving Campaign is our school’s unique fundraising effort. Each student’s family is asked for a tax-deductible donation of which 100% of this money is used to support our children's education. A form will be sent home with your child in August. In the spring, we hold our annual Pebble-Pebble Fun Run and Student Art Show. Each student is asked to raise a specified, tax-deductible amount and we celebrate with the fun run at the end of this fundraising campaign. 

The majority of the PTO budget pays to have paraeducators in our classrooms who play a crucial role in supporting our teachers in the classroom and working directly with your students.  The remainder of the budget pays for: classroom supplies and equipment (art room pottery wheels), curriculum enrichment (assemblies, field trips, guest speakers), staff enrichment and appreciation, before and after school clubs and programs and community events (Fall Festival, Ice Skating party, Pebble Pebble school garden, ...). The district allocated budget per student falls way below the needs of the school, classrooms, and teachers as depicted by the graphic below. Thank you for your support of Flatirons Elementary!
