Why should I donate?
The Big Creek Elementary PTO seeks to fund programs and events to provide a well-rounded education in an enriching environment. In order to financially support these programs, we request monetary contributions from families and friends of the Big Creek community. Without sufficient donations, we cannot provide these critical programs to our students. The BCES PTO supports programs that benefit ALL students at Big Creek Elementary.
What happens if the PTO does not get enough donations?
If we cannot raise sufficient funds, grants and activities could face cancellation. The Big Creek ES PTO would need to prioritize programming and cut various activities.
Public school is supposed to be free. Why am I being asked to pay?
Without Big Creek Elementary PTO funding, many of the programs that enrich our children's curriculum would not be possible as District funding barely covers rising expenses and mandated programs. The programs funded by parent contributions are what will bridge the gap and keep our schools performing at a level we are proud of and have come to expect.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Donations to Big Creek ES PTO, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, may be 100% tax-deductible. Please contact us at fundraiser@bigcreekespto.com if you need a donation receipt.
