The PTA has two funding sources each year: the Contribution Fund in the fall and the Auction in the spring.

The school budget was cut substantially this year, making your financial support of the PTA more important than ever.

Your generous donations pay for Model UN, Robotics, Kiboko, Global Kids Animation, Video Courses, Virtual High School, Memory Project, PSAL athletic teams, theater and musical productions, publications and after school activities, second night of parent-teacher conferences, professional development for teachers and so much more. As Mr. Saliani noted in his weekly letter, the PTA is funding all extra-curricular activities this year, to make up the difference due to the massive cut made to our school's budget. 

We have set a goal of $60,000 this year for the Contribution Fund. We are grateful for whatever support you feel comfortable giving. Our suggested annual contribution is $500 per student. Whatever amount you send will help make a difference and is most appreciated. No amount is too small. Our most important goal is 100% participation.

The PTA is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization. Your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law and goes directly towards your child's education. Please also ask your employer if they will match your gift. You can donate easily online by clicking here or if you prefer to send a check, you can download the paper form here.

This fall, the PTA will hold a Phonation to support the Contribution Fund. Please help us: if we receive your contribution by November 1, 2011, you will not be called during the Phonation.

Thank you for your support,

Eleanor Roosevelt High School PTA
