Fundraising is a necessary evil for parent groups these days. School funding is at such low levels many of the programs we took for granted as kids have been cut or are operating with little to no budget allowance. The PTSO is determined to make up as much of that shortfall as we are able, so our kids can enjoy all of those activites. If you can help in any way we would appreciate it. Following are some of the programs that we have in place to help out.
Say No to Dough
For most school fundraisers (like cookie dough sales), only HALF of the money raised goes back to fund school programs with the other half going to the company pushing the sale of their landfill products and not-so-good dough? Because of parents like you, this event has been wildly successful raising over $3,000 last year …. so let’s keep the cookies coming to meet (or exceed) our goal this year. Your tax-deductible cash gift helps the TEMPE ACADEMY PTSO enrich the educational experience of all students by funding diverse educational programs, activities and events that would otherwise be unavailable because of financial constraints.
TAIS Supper Club
Tempe Academy Supper Club is the perfect excuse to skip cooking and dishes for one night. Once per month come out to a Supper Club and the participating restaurant will donate a portion of all sales to the Tempe Academy PTSO. That is what we call a big WIN, WIN! Watch our Facebook page for the date and location.
Ironman Foundation
Tempe Academy volunteers at the Ironman Half and the Ironman Full races to raising funds for the school. Students can earn their required volunteer hours, and the Ironman foundation will make a generous donation to the TAIS PTSO for our community service hours. Watch for more information at the begining for the school year and plan to spend some time at the Tempe Town Lake.
