Why am I asked for an annual gift on top of fundraisers?
Our PTA is an independent non-profit organization with a mission to enhance and support the educational programs and environment at Sherwood Elementary. Only a small portion of the PTA's income comes from PTA membership dues paid each year. To provide support to our school and children, to make certain programs possible, and to bridge the gap between public funds and actual expenses, WE NEED TO RAISE MONEY. To raise funds, the PTA conducts a variety of fundraisers to fit everyone's preference. You can donate here.
