PTA fundraises throughout the school year to fund school events, new library books, classroom supplies, assemblies with guests speakers who inspire our children, and more! We rely on the generous contributions of our Ruskin community to provide the best opportunities for our students and families to learn, grow and belong.
A school-wide spell-a-thon is more than just a competition; it's a powerful and engaging way to raise vital funds for our school programs while directly enriching our students' education. By participating, students not only sharpen their spelling and vocabulary skills but also gain a tangible understanding of how their efforts can positively impact their community.
A spell-a-thon is a low-cost, high-reward event that unites our students, teachers, and parents in a common goal, proving that learning can be both fun and incredibly beneficial for everyone. Please support our spell-a-thon and help us continue to provide the enriching educational experiences our students deserve.
100% of dollars raised stays at Ruskin.
We suggest $100 per family but ANY donation amount helps.
Multiply your giving power with company matching donations, which also qualify for prizes (please send proof of match to Judy@ruskinpta.org by 10/28). We also accept cash, checks (payable to Ruskin PTA), Zelle (board@ruskinpta.org) and Paypal (@RuskinPTA). Please write your student’s name & teacher’s name on all donations to be eligible for prizes. All spell-a-thon donations are tax deductible. Donation receipt given upon request.
