Funds raised from PTO dues are a major source of revenue during the school year. In addition, you may consider buying tickets to attend PTO sponsored activities, joining the rewards program at ShopRite, scanning your receipts in the Box Tops app, and volunteering at various school events.
GWS Spirit Wear
Show your school pride by purchasing some Gideon Welles Navigators spirit wear! We offer both child and adult sizes. We're taking pre-orders now through September 26, and will deliver items this fall.
PTO Dues and Raffle
The PTO Steering Committee relies on funds collected from dues to help make each school year a success for students and staff.
This year, in lieu of school directories, your PTO membership will enter your child into a raffle to win one of five awesome prizes: Principal for a day, Vice Principal for a day, lunch in the courtyard with 5 friends, extra recess for your child’s homeroom/5th grade class, or lunch with the principal!
If we collect over $5,000, all students will receive a popsicle during lunch! Please help us reach our goal by signing up today: Donate and enter Prize Raffle here
