The Emerson Enrichment Fund
Month of Giving Campaign!
Happening September 1st through 30th
bit.ly/emersonmonthofgiving
Emerson’s September “Month of Giving” Campaign is a direct request to our neighborhood and Emerson families to help fund key programs not supported by state & local funding. We do not want to lose any programs that enrich the education of all students at Emerson!
With ever-increasing pressure on district funds and less funding from the state, our PTA is setting out to help bridge the resource gap at Emerson.
The month of September will be the only time the Fundraising Committee asks directly for money. Making a donation to Emerson is an easy & helpful way to offer support from home and uplift our community.Donations directly support students.
Every dollar that the PTA raises goes towards funding academic, support, and enrichment programs like
- Reading Intervention
- Wellness Grants for Families
- Technology
- The Library Program
- Gardening
- Music
- Mini Grants for staff
- Teacher Supplies
- Professional Development
- Field Trips
- PTA committees and events
- And more!
An equity focused community.
As an equity focused school, we are not here to set some large dollar amount as a goal, nor are we requesting 100% participation. We only ask that if you can, and are able to give, please consider making a one-time or recurring monthly donation during the month of September to help support ALL students at Emerson. As our school and neighborhood continue to gentrify, we want to acknowledge the systems that make this kind of ask difficult and not possible for all our families. So again, please participate, but only if it makes sense for you and your family to do so.
Ways to give.
