Financial Statement January 2006
The following CHART shows how the PTA will direct its dollars in 2005-06.
Sixty (60) percent ($6,000) of those funds will go directly to the 2 schools, and be used by teachers and staff to help fund field trips and other classroom projects and activities.
Another 10 percent ($1,000) will support activities at each school that bring families and school staff together in ways that strengthen the relationships within our school community, and enhance the opportunities for social and intellectual growth of our children.
The rest of the 05-06 budget will support a variety of activities and materials, including the family directory, teacher appreciation, and meetings that bring together parents around school and related issues that are important to us.
Thank you for your support.
Your PTA Board, 2005-2006.
