The Ward PTO spends $200-$250 per student per year with a projected budget of $50,000 for the 2024-25 school year. The PTO has 4 major fundraising streams: 1) The Fun Run, 2) The Annual Fund, 3) The Teacher Raffle, and 4) The Mystery Dinner. We are excited to share that with your help, the Fun Run raised $9,578.27 - $3,700 more than last year! Thank you to each of you for your part in making that happen.

The Annual Fund Ask: Please consider donating to the PTO today. No donation is too small—we hope to raise $15,000 and get as close to 100% participation as possible. As always, our funds go towards building our community, funding curriculum enrichment, and supporting the needs of our principal, teachers, and staff. Every dollar raised is critical for our students, teachers, and school community.

Does your company provide a match for charitable giving? Corporate matches have been essential to the Ward PTO Annual Fund, accounting for at least 10% of what we raise yearly. Please check with your employer – it’s an easy way to increase your gift to the Ward PTO.
