Where Does Your PTO Money Go?
Last year the PTO made the following expenditures:
*         $1,400 for Student Planners  (The PTO pays over ½ the cost of the
student planners)
*         $5,100 for Grade Level & Related Arts Teams.  (These funds
purchase needed items as determined by the teachers.  In the past these
funds have purchased LCD projectors, music equipment and teaching materials.
They are also used to subsidize field trips.)
*         $1,100 for Teacher & Staff Appreciation  (This includes gifts,
breakfast and the end of year luncheon.)
*         $4,000 for Principal’s Discretionary Fund  (This was used to help
several school groups travel to national and international competitions last
year.)
*         $1,300 in Reimbursements for various activities, such as:
*         Substitute Teachers’ Lunches
*         College & Career Night
*         Teen Health Night
*         EXPO Night
*         8th Grade Dance
*         Shakespeare Production
*         Quilt Project
*         Total:  $12,900
What about this year?
Due to the increased number of teachers the PTO will need to raise the
amount allocated to the grade level and related arts teams.  The PTO is also
hoping to provide $3,000 to the school to be used with matching funds from
the county to purchase LCD projectors so that all classrooms will have a
projector.  Since the PTO doesn’t want to stop funding what we’ve done in
the past, this means we need to raise even more money this year.  Please
contribute whatever you can afford to help Burley continue to be the
wonderful school that it is!
