What the Parent Support Group (PSG) is all About

PSG exists to give parents an opportunity to come alongside the school personnel and staff to support their efforts in educating our children.

 Throughout the years, we have seen a wide variety of parental talent that has been so valuable in making PSG successful. One of our primary functions is fundraising. A strong PSG, combined with the generosity of our school families, has provided countless opportunities for our students. We may be a small school…but we are full of families with big hearts. The PSG often raises $25,000 – $30,000 per year.

 Have you ever wondered how PSG funds specifically support our school and students? There are many areas where PSG is providing the funding for the enrichment of our children. One of those areas is field trips! Our classrooms get the opportunity to take many field trips throughout the year. PSG pays for those so we as parents don’t have to.

• Here are just a few more programs PSG monies support:
• Traveling Science and Walk-Through programs ($5,000)
• Reading enrichment program ($1,000)
• Professional Development for teachers ($3,500)
• Technology – devices for classrooms and for teacher usage
• • air conditioning
  • refurbishment when needed
  • special materials for learning
  • classroom environment
• Teacher Appreciation Celebration
• Playground Equipment

As a school, we try to limit our fundraising to two events, the Jog-a-Thon and Basket Raffle at Open House. We encourage all our families to get involved in these exciting events each year! This year, the Jog -a-Thon raised almost $28,000 and the Basket Raffle raised almost $9,000. YOU all make that happen…THANK YOU!

In addition to these fabulous fundraisers, there are a few things going on throughout the year to continue to build PSG funds, but in a way to provide opportunities for our families as well as some fun for our kids. Some of our on-going fundraisers are PSG lunches, Poinsettia sales, and restaurant nights.

Thank you, again, to all our families for supporting PSG through your generosity of time and money.
