Every Dollar Counts!
November 15th to December 13th
Our goal is to raise $6,000.
That’s a lot, but together, we can meet this goal!
The Gillespie PTO is excited to announce the return of our Annual Gillespie Fussless Fundraiser. This is the primary PTO fundraiser of the year, and it’s a simple one. Simply donate dollars. Gillespie students don’t participate in any sales, and 100% of your donation is directly spent on Gillespie Middle School. When successful, this will be the main request for donations from PTO for the entire school year!
Gillespie’s needs change each year, but in general, PTO dollars support your child’s educational experiences through:
• 6th Grade Welcome Day • 7th Grade Mad City Challenge • 8th Grade Celebration • Forward Testing Breakfast
• Schools Dances • Cultural Events (Hispanic Heritage Event/Assembly, Black History Event/Assembly, etc.)
• Biweekly Popcorn Sale (encouraging positive behavior through Grizzly tickets) • School Spirit Events
• Staff Appreciation • Support Health Office Needs • Special initiatives, as they arise.
To meet our $6,000 goal, we are asking families to consider donating ANY AMOUNT that you can, as small or large as you feel fit. We appreciate ALL donations to the Gillespie PTO!
Participation matters!
Gillespie Middle School is a vibrant community of staff, students and families. Communities thrive when everyone participates and supports one another. We hope that many families will participate in this effort to support our school community.
Incentive for Success!
The PTO anticipates a successful fundraiser. To celebrate, the PTO plans to have a special Celebration Day in the spring at school for the students of Gillespie with games, popcorn and fun!
Your donation can be TAX DEDUCTIBLE! Our legal name is still “Jefferson PTO Madison” and it is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; EIN 88-4270149. Your donation may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes, as allowed by law.
