Today, we are kicking off our ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN, which will make Lakeshore a stronger and better school for our children by providing funds for our teachers, enrichment programs, and community events.
We must raise $85,000 in 3 weeks!
Let’s repeat our success of recent years. This fundraiser replaced the Walk-a-thon, Read-a-thon, PTA membership donation drive, Class Funds drive, Red Envelope campaign, candy sales, flea market, and other smaller, exhausting fundraisers. Let’s keep moving forward and not have to return to those days of so many fundraisers. One and done!
We’re looking for 100% participation at any level that works for you. It’s a hard time for a lot of families right now, so don’t feel pressured. Anything helps, but if you’re able, we’re recommending $500/student which is $2.77/school day—a cup of coffee a day.
The Annual Giving Campaign is the PTA’s primary source of income, so please pledge generously. Donate online or look for the packet coming in the mail.
No letter? Read it online and learn more and listen to your fellow Lakeshore families share why it’s important to give:
Prizes!
There will be prizes for the top 3 classrooms with highest participation and 6 classrooms with the most raised in Kinder, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th/5th grades together, and SDC classes. Even $1 counts toward participation, so don’t delay!
Every week, we’ll share who’s in the lead, but the grand total will be a secret until the very end!
Share our donation link, bit.ly/lsagcdon, on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or email. Tell your supporters to list your child’s name and room number to get credit toward prizes! When you share on social media, include your photo and tag Lakeshore Elementary PTA with #LakeshoreLeopards.
Spirit Days
Get the kids involved! Your child can show your family’s support for Lakeshore and the Annual Giving Campaign on Spirit Days. Every Friday will be School Colors Spirit Day, so make sure your child wears red and black or Lakeshore spirit gear to their Zoom Meetings. The last week of the Annual Giving Campaign, we will go strong to the finish line with FIVE Spirit Days.

You Make the Difference
No amount is too small or too large. Every dollar counts. Together, we make the magic happen and contribute towards educating the whole child.
