Ever wonder where those PSG dollars go? Hereās a look at the incredible ways your support impacts our students, teachers, and school community.
With our biggest fundraiser of the yearāDog Dashākicking off September 17th, we want to highlight how your donations will make a difference not just on event day, but throughout the entire year!
Every teacher deserves a boost! Our goal: at least $200 for each of our 30+ teachers each year. Grants are distributed at the end of the school year to support their classroom needs and creative ideas.Ā
Many teachers report spending between $200 to $1,000 of their own money on their classroom depending on their grade level and subject! Every dollar given to support teachers helps make the classroom a better environment to support learning for our kids.
PSG funds have purchased handwriting slates for kindergarten, reading curriculum books for teachers, plus digital BOOM cards for grades to practice skills aligned with state standards.Ā
New books for the media center are bought with Book Fair scholastic dollars or a grant from the PSG when possible. The Book Fair also helps each teacher refresh their own classroom library.
Needs will randomly arise and teachers make requests for specialized equipment for their classrooms and we try to accommodate when possible!Ā
Since yearly book fees in Indiana were discontinued, the PSG funds are a way to bridge the gap to fund classroom activities.
In the fall, Kids enjoy a themed dance with a DJ, snacks, decorations, and playful accessories that make the night unforgettable. Every year students have class parties for Valentine's Day, and a big party at the end of the year for 5th grade Graduation!Ā
Every year, the PSG brings in BOOMER, the high-flying, crowd-cheering mascot of the Pacers! š This has become one of our favorite traditionsāitās always a blast. Plus, Boomerās visit isnāt just funāit also helps reinforce the important character traits our school teaches in such a memorable way.Ā
PSG helps lower field trip costs, making it easier for every student to participate.
From soccer and football to basketballs, kickballs, chalk, bubbles, and even hula hoops ā our recess carts keep playtime fun and active!
Every year it takes hundreds of dollars to replace broken items, restock supplies, and keep the fun rolling!
Each year, PSG awards two $500 scholarships to graduating seniors who share how Brown Elementary shaped their journey.Ā
Students earn Bulldog Bucks for good behavior, academics, and more! Each month, classes āshopā with their bucks for fun prizes or experiences like lunch with a teacher or a Culverās ice cream coupon. š¦ PSG funds make these rewards possibleākeeping kids motivated and smiling!Ā
From a back-to-school catered lunch to surprise snacks, coffee stations, themed treats, and end-of-year gifts ā PSG makes sure our staff feels the love all year long.Ā
When the lounge needed new microwaves, PSG made sure teachers could warm up their lunches in style!
Random needs for the school come up, we can help with purchasing! Such as new professional mats for the gym, snow machine for the music concert, and more!
When our teachers and staff feel supported, and our students are engaged and excited about school, the entire community benefits.Ā
