Kenmore Junior High PTSA Fundraising - Help Spread the Word!
With schools and education facing continuous budget cuts, it is more important than ever that we, the families and friends of our local schools, help our schools to make sure the future leaders of our country are getting the education they deserve!
Besides the usual "Pass the Hat" fundraiser, KJH will host a fundraising auction on February 6th. There are also many other ways to earn cash for KJH through everyday activities: buying groceries, recycling, shopping online and making purchases with a debit/credit card. These programs generate funds for our school to help provide expanded after-school activites, our communication link packet, PTSA newsletter, student appreciation, staff appreciation and MORE!
PASS THE HAT
"The stress-free fundraiser!" KJH PTSA has a unique way to ask you for your financial support. We hold a simple "Pass the Hat" fundraiser. We ask that you bring your checkbook to the Open House in September and make a tax-deductible donation to PTSA. The Pass the Hat donation form is also available to
download. Your donation will help support student programs aimed at enriching academics and social connections, as well as many othere programs for parents and staff. The suggested donation is $35 per family but
please consider sponsoring another family, too, with a donation of $70.
