The
Glenknoll PTA is an active group of parents, teachers and school staff
who work together to provide programs, funding and enrichment activities
to enhance our school community.
What kind of programs does the PTA fund?
Field
Trips and Special Event: The PTA provides funding for each class to be
applied to the cost of field trips and special events planned by each
grade level. The PTA donates $10.00 per student for a total of
approximately $4,500 per year.
Instructional Supplies:
The PTA has purchased personal planners for the upper grade levels and
has donated $150.00 per classroom for teachers to purchase materials
for this year. Total amount $2,700.
Library: Recent state budgets have drastically cut funding for our school libraries. The PTA funds the library to supplement the purchase of additional books and updated computers. Total amount is approximately $2,000.
Website: The PTA financed the creation and ongoing maintenance of the Glenknoll website (www.glenknoll.org).
Cost is $2,500.
Other Programs: The PTA also funds the Reading Program, Principal’s lunch, Red Ribbon Week, Reflections, and Career Day.
Gifts to Supplement Learning: The 2010/11 PTA helped fund the Accelerated Reader Program and donated money to update computers in our school.

How does the PTA raise money?
Funds
are raised primarily through a Jog-a-thon Fundraiser, eSCRIPS, Book Fairs, Skate Nights, Dining Out Nights and various other events. PTA
members approve all expenditures and strive to get the absolute most out
of each dollar that is raised or donated. A copy of our current budget
is available at all PTA meetings.
