The Big Give Makes a Big Difference!
We invite you to participate in the Big Give! This is the PTA’s biggest fundraiser of the year and primary source of funding for our grant to Adams. Your support directly impacts the quality of education, extracurricular activities and experiences available to every Adams student.
What does Adams PTA fundraising support?
Funds raised by the PTA directly support the school, with the majority of the funding being directly paid to Adams in the form of a $170K grant that supports vital roles at our school and supplements funding by the District. The remaining funds enable the PTA's mission to support students and families through community activities like Fall Festival and Talent Fest, scholarships for activities, and operating costs including communication software and other technology.
Including our grant, this year the PTA will spend $200K on school supports, community events, and other PTA programs and services.
We acknowledge that this year’s fundraising goals are greater than in previous years. Due to SPS’ ongoing budget crisis, our PTA has committed to providing 40% more funding for staffing and 31% more for tutoring relative to last year in order to maintain the services the Adams community counts on to thrive, including Advanced Learning support. For more detailed information on how your contributions are spent, please contact ptatreasurer@adamselementary.org.
We invite every family to partner in raising $123,000 during Big Give towards our total annual budget of $200,000.
If it's within your budget, please consider supporting Adams at the
Eagle Superstar
level of $700.
