📨 A message from our wonderful RP PTO: Our RP Fall Fundraiser runs through Saturday, October 10th. We are so close to meeting our goal!! ⏰

Whether you've already donated, shared the fundraiser with family and friends, or are just getting around to it now, thank you. Every bit of support helps make the school year a little more memorable for our kids. 👏

Give Once. Make the Year Happen.

And there's something in it for the whole school, too. If we reach our goal - our Cardinals earn a Glow Dance in November! 🤩

A BIG thank-you to everyone who has donated, shared, and participated so far! 👏

Congratulations to 1st Grade for winning last week’s Participation Challenge! 💪

This week is our final grade competition. Each grade has the same ~$6000 goal, and the grade that reaches the highest percentage of its goal by October 10th will win a Pizza Party. 🍕

We’re so grateful for the support our Red Pine community continues to show. Every gift helps us fund the school year. 🏨

🎉Congratulations to 3rd Grade, our Week 1 winner for having the most students registered for the PTO fundraiser! They’ve earned extra recess and a sweet treat this week.🎉

😃 Every participating family counts equally, no matter the donation amount. https://go.rallyup.com/rpepto26to27 😀

⏰ Now it’s time for Week 2! This week, the grade with the highest percentage of families who participate in the fundraiser will win the next prize, so students are encouraged to ask grown ups to share the fundraiser link with your aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends, et cetera. Every family counts, no matter how much they donate. Let's go, Cardinals! ⏰

We’re on Day 8 of the Fall Fundraiser, and you’ve already raised $10,450, 29% of our $35,000 goal.

And here’s the part that has us especially excited:

That’s with only about 150 students participating so far.
Imagine what happens if the rest of Red Pine joins them.

First, a little applause for 3rd Grade, winners of last week’s Registration Challenge! They earned extra recess and a special treat...and, presumably, some perfectly reasonable bragging rights.
Now the scoreboard resets.

This week’s challenge: PARTICIPATION.
The grade with the highest percentage of students with at least one donation of any amount wins the next round of extra recess and treats.
And we really do mean any amount. For the competition, a $5 donation counts exactly the same as $50. The goal is to get as many Red Pine families participating as we can.

So, Cardinals: tell your grown-ups.
Grown-ups: tell your Cardinals.
And grandparents, relatives, friends and neighbors are welcome to get in on this too.

We’re 29% of the way there.
Let’s see what happens when the whole school knows about it.

Give Once. Make the Year Happen.

🎉Red Pine PTO’s Fall Fundraiser is officially live!🎉 The goal is to raise $35,000 - with your help!! This will go a long way to help fund PTO programs and support our school for the 2026–27 school year. Please see the following post with more information about how to get started 😀.

Today we’re asking Red Pine families to do one thing to help make an entire school year happen.

Our Fall Fundraiser is officially underway.

This year, we’re trying something simpler. Instead of selling products or asking for pledges throughout the year, we’re asking families to make one upfront donation to help fund the PTO programs, experiences and support that happen all year long.

Our goal is $35,000.

That money becomes classroom supplies and enrichment. It helps create family events and memorable experiences for our kids. It supports staff appreciation and other needs throughout the Red Pine community.

The suggested donation is $65 per student if every Red Pine family participates, but there is no required amount. Give what makes sense for your family. Every donation matters, and participation matters too.

And because a school fundraiser should have a little fun attached to it, there will be weekly grade-level competitions along the way. Be sure to select your child’s grade when you register so they can join in.

👉 Register and donate here:

The fundraiser runs through October 9. If we reach our $35,000 goal, we’ll have funded the PTO’s planned programs and support for the school year. And if Red Pine goes beyond it, those additional dollars can help fund a much-needed gym equipment storage shed.

One fundraiser. One school year. One community making it happen together.

Give Once. Make the Year Happen.
