Connecting Schools With Great Fundraising Ideas.

Each year Fifth Grade Students at Webutuck Elementary School look forward to their special school trip. This year teachers, parents and other community members participated in a silent auction to raise funds for the school trip.

The event was held on Dec. 8 and many people showed up to bid on a variety of items, with the proceeds going to fund the students’ trip to Montreal. This year was extra special because it would be the final overnight school trip for the fifth graders.
“We did really well and raised about $7,000″ said Valarie Corcoran, president of the Webutuck PTA and mother of a fifth-grader. “About 75 people attended and it was a lot of fun.”

Communities view their public school facilities as something to take pride in.  Not only the educational space such as classrooms and gymnasiums but even the style of the building itself can be a source of inspiration.

Parents at Starkville High School, Starkville Mississippi, banded together in true community grassroots style to pursue a building improvement project.  The group plans to raise $20,000 to build an improved entrace to the high school including landscape design.

Members of the Parent, Teacher and Student Association are planning a dinner to help raise funds for the project.  Parent leader Susan Tomlinson addressed the school board to seek approval for the event.

“We would like to do something nice for the high school this year,” Tomlinson said.
She said a dinner to highlight talented students at the high school could provide some good visibility for the school to business and industry leaders in Starkville.
