Fundraising

The PTO helps helps our school purchase technology, programs and materials that are not in their budget. This year we are raising money for in-class libraries, and a sunshade for the outdoor picnic area.

How it's done...

Teachers, families and local businesses work together to accomplish these goals by:

• WilsonFest School Carnival in the fall 
• Wilson Color Run Spring Fundraiser
• Eating out on Spirit Nights (Restaurant nights) - check the calendar for what we have scheduled!
• Buying Spirit Gear
• Donating online and during our GoWilson Fundraiser in the fall
  
• Box Tops for Education: Download the ALL-NEW Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then simply scan your store receipts to find participating products automatically. Be sure to select "W H Wilson Elementary School" when setting up your account. The app will automatically credit the school's Box Tops earnings online. You can email in your receipts or connect to your Walmart account to automatically earn for the school.
• Get your hair cut at Sharkey's and support our school. When you mention our school Sharkey's gives Wilson $1 and you receive 10% off your cut! Sharkey's Cuts for Kids
• Shop at Tom Thumb: Bring the Good Neighbor Form attached here  to Customer service and link it to you Rewards card Number.  Wilson's Charity number is #10596
• Shop at Kroger: To Use the Kroger Community Rewards Program, visit http://www.kroger.com/. Once logged into their Kroger account you can search for WILSON ELEMENTARY PTO either by name or our Kroger Rewards number is CY576.  and then click Enroll. New users will need to create an account which requires some basic information, a valid email address and a rewards card. 

• Corporate Matching: Amplify your gift with Corporate Matching! Did you know your donation to our PTO can go twice, or even three times, as far, at no extra cost to you? Many companies offer corporate matching programs, where they match employees’ charitable donations to nonprofits.
  Here’s how simple it is to participate:
  1. Make your donation as usual to our PTO.
  2. Check with your HR department (or your company’s internal giving portal) to see if they participate in matching.
  3. Submit a matching request, typically online or via a form and your employer will send a matching gift directly to us once approved. 

Thanks for all you do to make our school great!
