Fundraising
The WGE PTA spends approximately $250,000 on enrichment programs each year. These programs are made possible entirely through donations and fundraisers. Without the support of the WGE families and community, these programs wouldn't be possible.
The annual giving campaign is a key fundraising program for our children. It is our largest fundraiser with the greatest return on investment. Annual giving brings in almost 40% of our total funds for the year, with half of that being through corporate matching.
Affiliate programs help us earn money through purchases you might be making anyways. From Sports Basement, Box Tops for Education, Hicklebee's and iGive to restaurant nights, every percentage we get back helps.
This pledge drive is one of the biggest fundraisers and gets the students involved in raising money themselves. There are some really great individual, class and school wide prizes for the kids to win, and PTA can fund programs like Settle Science and Recess 101.
Parent parties are special ticketed events hosted by WGE families throughout the year. These parties have fun themes and will be advertised on Konstella as they become available.
Families have the opportunity to purchase a yearbook each year as a keepsake for their child(ren)'s time at WGE. Each year there is a cover contest, where one student's artwork is chosen for the yearbook cover.
