District 47 Board of Education Recognizes PTO/PTA Fundraising Efforts for 2016-17 School Year
Parent-teacher organizations raise more than $326,000.
The Crystal Lake Elementary District 47 Board of Education recognized PTOs and PTAs for their fundraising efforts during the 2016-17 school year at the September 18th board meeting. In total, the parent-teacher organizations for all schools, including Wehde Early Childhood Center and Crystal Lake Friends of Gifted Education (CLFOGE), raised $326,281.
While PTO/PTA funds are allocated differently at each school, the dollars raised help fund field trips, author visits and other school events, and aid in the purchase of library books and resources, classroom-specific supplies, and building playground equipment.
"Our PTOs and PTAs work hard to support our schools and provide an enhanced learning experience for our students,” said Board President Rob Fetzner. “We are grateful for their efforts and partnership.”
