Fundraising

Every dollar raised by the PTA goes back to helping all students at the school. Money raised goes towards funding many programs that are designed to improve and enrich the lives of the students and help them to grow achieve their potential.

Without your generous donations and support the PTA would NOT be able to fund:

• The return of ENRICHMENT, including twice a month Lego Lab classes for all students and a musical/theater performance/

• FIELD TRIPS and ASSEMBLIES, In a typical year, each grade goes on 3 field trips on buses a year, which the PTA funds subsidize to keep the cost down to $10 per student per field trip to locations like the California Academy of Sciences, the Exploratorium, the Children’s Discovery Museum and the SF Zoo. This allows students to be immersed in the lessons they are learning and to keep the excitement up about translating what they are learning in the classroom to real life. In addition, we bring assemblies to the school to enrich the students’ experience and keep interest high.

• BOOKS AND CLASSROOM SUPPLIES such as magazine subscriptions for the classroom, book funds, and replacing and refreshing the PE equipment.

• COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS - we all enjoy the wonderful community here at Beresford Elementary. Your donations cover most of the social events put on by the PTA throughout the year, from the Fall Fair and VIP Dance Party to providing the pizzas and salads at Family Engagement events throughout the year.
