Calling all Friends of Jefferson! Whether you are a community member or former Spartan, you are invited to join us in supporting our PTO's singular fundraiser for the school year. The PTO uses these funds for grade-level grants for our Jefferson teachers and students, fun learning opportunities for our school family, and special ways to celebrate and appreciate our amazing teachers and staff! Any dollar amount is appreciated and will be acknowledged with acts of kindness. ❤️

Help support Jefferson Elementary School PTO! During the fundraiser, we will be paying it forward by giving back to others. Thank you for your support!

🏀 A Fresh Look for Our Playground! 🇺🇸

A big thank you to Mr. Graham for generously donating brand-new basketball nets for the hoops on our big kids’ playground!

The new red, white, and blue nets look fantastic—and our Spartans wasted absolutely no time putting them to good use today! 🏀🇺🇸

🎉 OUR JEFFERSON FUNDRAISER IS OFFICIALLY OPEN! 🎉

We are SO excited to kick off our Raise Craze Fundraiser today! 💙🤍💛

This year, we’re Fundraising Through Kindness! Rather than selling items, our students will be raising money while also completing Acts of Kindness (AOK) for others. ❤️

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to help provide:

✨ Grade-level grants for our teachers and students
✨ Fun learning opportunities for our school family
✨ Special ways to celebrate and appreciate our amazing teachers and staff

🥰 HOW TO GET STARTED:

1️⃣ Register your student and create their donation page.
👉 Go to raisecraze.com/join
👉 Enter our school code: 966-317

2️⃣ Choose 3–5 Acts of Kindness for your child to complete for others. 💕
3️⃣ Invite friends and family to donate and help your child spread some kindness!

📱 You can also scan the QR code on the flyer to register!

📅 Fundraiser Dates: August 28 – September 30

This fundraiser is about so much more than reaching a dollar amount. We want our Spartans to experience the joy of giving back, serving others, and spreading kindness throughout our community. 💙

Let’s get started, Jefferson! $25,000 + 1,000 Acts of Kindness = one AMAZING Spartan community! 🥰💙🤍💛

Yay KINDNESS! 🎉

🎉 The Spartan Shuffle is officially underway! 💙💛

Today we kicked off our Spartan Shuffle with a BANG! We had Sparty out and about, glow sticks shining, and lots of Spartan excitement as we launched our one big annual student fundraiser!

The Spartan Shuffle is about so much more than fundraising—it helps make so many of the experiences our students love possible throughout the year. Funds raised help support:

⭐ Classroom grants for teachers
🔬 Our Science Fair
🌎 Cultural Heritage Night
💃 The school dance
🔫 Our laser tag event
🎉 Special student activities and experiences
📚 And so much more!

We are incredibly grateful for the support of our families and community. Every donation helps us continue creating memorable opportunities for our Spartans.

Let’s Shuffle, Spartans! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💙💛
