Dear Carnegie Vanguard Parents,
For many of us, this is a special week of the year. We dwell on everything we're thankful for. We decorate the house, anticipating the upcoming festivities. We might start our Holiday shopping. And .....we'll be contacted by many organizations asking for donations.
Next Tuesday, November 29, is Giving Tuesday, a nationwide movement encouraging generosity to nonprofit organizations. This year we ask you to consider a cause very close to your home and your heart, your schools' PTO. Every $$ donated to CVHS PTO is used to help the students and their families, the teachers and the school.
The vast majority of our PTO funding comes through generous contributions to the Friends & Family Campaign. Without this money, we cannot complete all our good work. We have not reached our goals for the year, and so we ask that parents consider this worthy, charitable (tax deductible) gift.
We want all parents to have complete knowledge of what we do with the money we collect. Most of our spending goes to these terrific causes:
- Teacher Appreciation, Development and Support: $17,000
- Campus Beautification and Maintenance $3,000
- Events, Honoraria and School Clubs $6,000
- Scholarships $2,500
We hope to collect more than our budgetary needs so that we can make the Pavilion (pictured below) a reality. The Pavilion will provide all students a wonderful place for lunch, gathering, and educational activities. We continue to raise money towards our target of an additional $25,000 to complete the $100,000 funding needed for the Pavilion. The PTO has raised the remaining funds through past gifts to the Friends & Family Campaign.
