From your PTA

DEAR CLAREMONT, PLEASE DONATE TO CLAREMONT'S ANNUAL FUND

Help our school, help our kids
Tis the season to give, and the Claremont PTA would be honored if you would give to the Claremont Fund, our annual fund and the PTA's biggest fundraiser. Our goal this year is to raise $110,000 - we are almost at $50,000 - so nearly half way there! In the coming weeks before the new year, we are going to ask you and every family to donate what you can.  

How can I donate? You can donate in a variety of ways. You can donate once or monthly. You can donate online - by credit card, debit card or through PayPal, all by going here. (You can only set up monthly recurring donations via PayPal). You can write a check to the Claremont PTA (please include your name, address and email and write "annual fund" on your check) and drop it off/send it to the school. Your donation will make a difference! For more about the Claremont Fund, please go here. 

Already doing recurring monthly donations but want to increase your amount? Thank you! To do so is easy - just delete your current payment and enter a new amount. 

WHAT THE CLAREMONT FUND PAYS FOR: 

How does the PTA spend the money raised through the Claremont Fund? For the answer, just look around the school. The Claremont Fund bought the basketballs used in PE and by the basketball teams. It purchased the goalie nets on the new field. It is continually buying the Chromebooks used in classrooms. It funds book buying for the books in the Library. It helps pay the salary of our wonderful librarian. The list goes on: Grade field trips. Our music program. Our art program. Teacher and staff professional development. All thanks to your support. Please give to help Claremont's continuing success!

YOUR COMPANY'S MATCHING PROGRAM? 

Does your company have a donation matching program? Please consider applying with your company to see if it will match your donation to the Claremont Fund. Let us know if we can help. Go here to see if your employer is among those that match.
