Mission PTA
Fundraisers

Fun Run

A Fun Run in the fall transforms our Mission field into a racetrack for students with this awesome school fundraiser where funds are used for grade-level field trip costs. Parent and caregiver volunteers will be needed to make the event a success. And we encourage families to come watch, cheer and/or run with their kids. Students will run, dance and skip to high-energy music while being cheered on and having fun! Money raised goes to offset field trip costs for all grade levels.

Missionwear

At the beginning of every school year, the Mission PTA organizes our Missionwear sale,  during which families can purchase that year’s exclusive spiritwear design. The Mission community votes for their favorite design each spring at Open House, and the winning design is unveiled in August around the first week of school. Note: Each class also usually does their own grade level shirt!

Book Fair

Every year, usually in early December, Mission hosts its annual book fair. During the week of the fair, our school library transforms into a magical place where our students can explore the world of books. Parents and caregivers are welcome to come and shop at the fair during certain predetermined times. Parents and caregivers can also load their child’s “e-wallet” with money so they can independently shop the fair at recess and lunch. We also welcome donations to a Book Fair e-wallet that we use to provide books for students in need. 100% of the money raised supports our Mission school library. 

Reading Challenge

Every spring during this week-long event, students are encouraged to read as many minutes as possible and complete fun reading challenges. Our main objective is to inspire students to read more and foster a lifelong love of books. Individual student and classroom prizes will be awarded based on total minutes read. Depending on progress towards our fundraising goals during the year, this event may or may not include a fundraising component. Collecting donations and pledges is always voluntary, and is not required to participate or win prizes.  

Auction

Every other year (odd years in spring), the Mission PTA coordinates a fundraising auction. It is an adults-only night of food, music and fun that raises a significant portion of the PTA’s funds for the subsequent two years. Donations are solicited from Mission families and the surrounding community. They are then offered that night for auction or raffle. By far the most intriguing auction items are the classroom created items. Each class typically creates an amazing and memorable item that some lucky adult can bid on and bring home. Teachers also offer student experiences that can be purchased (pool and dance parties hosted by teachers, exclusive teacher-led movie trips, etc).
