Direct Donation Drive
DISTRIBUTION PURPOSE
100% of the money goes to the Weyanoke PTA to fund field trips, assemblies, and other important school activities, like the Talent Show, Spelling Bee, and school clubs. Our goal is $10,000 this year.
This is where the PTA gets MOST of its money to fund these great activities!
Thank you so much for your support! We ask for direct donations, so we don't have to ask you to sell items. Anyone can donate, including friends and family, to help Weyanoke reach our goal! Every Direct Donation is a tax-deductible donation directly to our PTA.
DECEMBER 13, 2023- JANUARY 18, 2024
- If every student gets $10 from 5 people, would raise almost $30,000.
- Ask your employer to match your donation, many have a policy in place to do so.
- Donate/bring in donations for your child to have a chance to
win a raffle prize!
HOW YOU CAN DONATE?
Donations can be sent to the school in the Donation Envelope or through the PTA website:
https://weyanokepta.square.site/
(While you're there you can join the PTA as well!).
