Rising Tides Fundraiser Finds 144 Donors

THANK YOU to the 144 donors who have stepped up to donate over $19,000 for our 900+ Tumwater students.

EVERY donation, regardless of size, is gratefully received and collectively takes us one step closer to reaching our base goal of $25k.

However, here at PTO HQ, we are DREAMING BIG & we recognize that donations die in darkness.

See our proposed budgets at various income levels and to learn more details about our four major areas of support:

• ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT: Our PTO programs are open to every student at Tumwater, from Art Lit to OBOB. The bulk of our proposed budget supports our Community Grant program, where Tumwater PTO funds innovative and hands-on learning, crafted by our own students and staff.

• STUDENT EXPERIENCES: As we move forward, we hope to provide positive & unique experiences to our student body, including semester-end student socials, grade-level field trips, and compelling student assemblies.

• FAMILY EVENTS: Engaging as a community is a priority. As a brand-new middle school, our event traditions are yet to be forged. We look forward to working with Tumwater staff to support annual TMS events, such as Welcome socials, Science Fair and other community-based experiences.

• COMMUNITY SUPPORT: Tumwater PTO will always support BSD’s Clothes for Kids, as well as our staff appreciation efforts.

As our Rising Tides income increases, so does the breadth and scope of our PTO impact.

Any amount donated is gratefully received. It is the power of our collective effort that will make this fundraiser successful.

However, for those looking for more direction, we suggest an initial donation of $100-$150 per student, if that’s a reasonable possiblity for your family.
