What does C3 PTSA do with funds raised?
75% of funds raised are given as a grant to C3 Elementary to supplement the following: social emotional supports, student supports (small group instruction model/differentiated supports), additional support for Specials, support for distributed leadership model, and teacher training (PEBC residents). We have committed to focusing our fundraising efforts to what we consider the most pressing needs, which are most often supplementing supports for students to ensure all of our learners have access to the level of support our community desires to have at C3.
25% of Funds Raised are used for C3 PTSA Operational Costs such as:
-Community-wide events and programs sponsored by PTSA, such as the pancake breakfast, C3 Big Splash (summer pool party), Cheers & Tears back to school coffee cart, parent-led talks and the learning garden
-Teacher & staff grants to allow the pursuit of additional professional development or the purchase of additional supplies for learning enhancement in the classrooms. Each grant is reviewed and approved by the Principal and the PTSA, and all supplies purchased with grant money are property of C3.
-Support to teachers & staff in the form of curiosity crew supplies & appreciation lunches/coffees throughout the year
