Childs Elementary School

PTO Mission Statement

To work cooperatively with the school's professional staff, to assist and support the activities and needs of our school.

Help the School

Fundraising is an area where each family can help. The following are some of the ways that we raise funds for our school.

• Carnival & Silent Auction - This is our biggest fundraiser. Each class is assigned an activity/game. Held in May.
• Market Day - Selected food items are offered for sale by catalog monthly. Pick-up from 5:00-6:00pm in the school cafeteria usually the first Monday of the following month. Childs School uses Market Day profits to raise funds for technology.
• Box Tops for Education - Clip and save the box top from General Mills products marked "Boxtops for Education". The drop off box is located in front of the school office.
• Marsh grocery - Designate Childs School to receive the cash back from Marsh.
• Target - Designate Childs School to receive the cash back from Target.
