What is the Rocket Booster?
The Rocket Booster is the East Middle School version of a no-hassle fundraiser, with funds being administered by the East Parent-Teacher Council (EPTC). There are no expectations for donating, but for those that are able, $30-40 per family will help us meet our goal.
How has the Rocket Booster directly impacted students, teachers, and staff?
The EPTC has applied the funds we've received in the following tangible examples:
Providing all teachers with start-of-year funds.
Supporting students by funding awards in the PBIS store.
Allocating funding so that all students can attend field trips and special events.
Equipping classrooms with lock-down kits for teachers.
Providing new recreational equipment for students.

Check if your employer will match your donation!
The EPTC is eligible for employer matching donations, through Benevity and YourCause from Blackbaud. Please check with your employer if they participate to have your donation doubled!

1st place grade level - all students will receive 100 PBIS points.
2nd place grade level - all students will receive 50 PBIS points.
3rd place grade level - all students will receive 25 PBIS points.
*We understand that not all families are in a position to contribute and there is no obligation to do so.
