SCHOOL UPDATES


HAVE YOU INVESTED YET?

Invest runs until October 8th and we are 74% to our donation goal! Please help us get that last 26% in before fall break.

Our goal is $240,000 and 90% participation from every family in every grade.

Your donation and participation counts towards our grade level competition. The first grade to get to 90% participation gets a special prize! Every Invest donor’s child gets a coupon for a free icee at Granny White Market. 1st grade is in the lead at 50%! Remember that you can show your participation without a monetary donation by clicking the “I INVEST” option.

We understand these amounts may not be feasible for every family, so we want to reassure you that every gift—at every level—matters.

Ready to INVEST? Click to GIVE NOW.

Did you know?

  • You can choose to split your INVEST donations into monthly payments!
  • If you don’t want to pay CausePilot fees, you’re welcome to drop off a check off in the front office!
  • The PPE PTO is a non-profit organization, so your donation is tax-deductible.
  • Your company may be able to match your donation – check and see!
  • If you can’t donate financially at this time, you can still count your participation by clicking through the CausePilot to say “I INVEST!” – everyone can support!
