Why does the pta conduct fundraising activities?
Our PTA is an independent non-profit organization with a mission to enhance and support the educational programs and environment at Kennydale Elementary. Only a small portion of the PTA's income comes from PTA membership dues paid each year. To provide the support to our school and children, to make certain programs possible, and to bridge the gap between public funds and the school's actual expenses, we need to raise money. In order to raise funds, the PTA conducts a variety of fundraisers to fit everyone's preference.
