Pals Provides Volunteers for the following & more! • Kindergarten Orientation • Kindergarten Screening • Enrichment Activities • Classroom Parties • Market Day • Family Nights/Fun Fair
How Does PALS get Money for the School? • Fun Fair – By far, this is our biggest fund raiser. • Gingerbread Shoppe – Not seen as a real “money-maker” but more as a service for the kids. • Book Fair – Most often, PALS uses our profits from Book Fair to purchase more books through Scholastic for the school library or classrooms. • Box Tops – A great money-maker for the school.
PALS does not do: • Entertainment Book Sales • Cookie Dough Sales
2011 Fun Fair Over 150 Volunteers Over 10,000 tickets sold - Over $11,000 raised
Current Budget • PALS currently has $32,000 in both checking and savings accounts. Most of this money is already tapped to be used in several ways: • Documents Cameras for each classroom - $5,000 • Additional Book Room – $12,000 • Several End-of-Year Events - $1,200 • AR/STAR/Study Island - $3,500 • Needy Families - $400
Moving on to 2011-2012! • What is next for PALS? • New Director • New Accounting Measures In Place • By-laws Being Reviewed/Revised
