PTA Fundraiser

How We Fundraise

For the 2019-2020 school year, Westland Elementary PTA can host one main fundraiser. Last year, we asked for direct donations, which was popular among Westland families (you can see the 2019 fundraiser survey results here). However, with direct donations, we raised about half of what we had raised in the previous three years selling chocolate bars. So, this year we are giving parents the option of selling chocolate bars and/or providing a direct donation to the PTA. Both options will earn prizes for your child. Direct donations may be eligible for company matching programs. The Westland Elementary PTA needs to raise approximately $30 per student per school year to support our budget. Many families cannot afford to donate this amount, and we understand that. If you can afford more, additional donations and support would be greatly appreciated. We love our amazing and supportive Westland community!
