Panther Pops 2022-23

 Boosterthon

Thank you Panther families for an amazing Boosterthon fundraiser! We'd like to share a little about where that money has gone. 

Every year, the PKES PTO gives $20,000 from our Boosterthon funds straight back to the school for educational licenses and materials. Here's a breakdown of how that $20,000 fund has been spent for the 2021-22 school year: 

Guided level reading books: $4,201.95

4th and 5th grade level books: $788.15

Grade 2 take-home book package: $2,519.21

BrainPOP access: $2,395

PebbleGo access: $1,099

Learning A-Z licensing: $1,617.84

Digi-Block: $995

Presentation folders: $780

2 classroom rugs: $1014.47

Classroom/office supplies: $2948.44

Batteries and toner: $1649.27

In addition, the Boosterthon money was all about the outdoors! We are excited to announce that last year's Boosterthon funds were used to create two covered outdoor classrooms and a variety of equipment for teachers and students to use in these outdoor spaces. Picnic tables, convertible seating and outdoor benches arrived, as well.

Other things Boosterthon money goes to — along with all other PTO fundraising — includes: the Veterans Day breakfast, Red Ribbon week, career day, field day, extracurricular requests from teachers and administration — such as our cafeteria and hallway murals — annual extra funding for related arts classrooms and special needs classrooms, monthly staff luncheons and other teacher appreciation efforts, and more!
