CULTURE OF GIVING: NOW THROUGH OCT 6th!

Our annual Culture of Giving campaign is one of Roberts Elementary's primary fundraisers, contributing a third of the PTO budget. Your generous donations and tireless volunteering mean our children enjoy activities that set Roberts apart from other schools, including:

  • Curriculum enrichment 
  • Building and grounds improvements and maintenance
  • Professional development for staff
  • Technology resources
  • IB membership

In the past, donations have ranged from $5 to $5000—any amount is welcome.

Donate to Culture of Giving
 

Please donate at the student level to split your contribution across multiple students with one checkout.

SEE BENEFITS HERE. Donations across multiple classrooms will be combined to determine benefit levels.

This Week's Challenge: The first 3 classrooms to raise $3,000 will each receive a $100 gift card toward classroom supplies.

Classroom Challenge: Any class that reaches 100% participation by the end of the campaign will earn a pizza party!
