INVEST IN OUR CHILDREN CAMPAIGN
September 1 to October 15, 2010
The PTA is proud to announce our new campaign for the 2010-2011school year called "Invest in our Children". Each year the PTA works with the community to raise between $60,000 to $80,000 to fund the numerous programs that benefit all FTS children - that is a cost of $170 to $230 per FTS child. Many of our fundraisers require a huge commitment of time and energy by parents and students and the PTA receives only a small percentage of the sales. See the list below for some of the programs and items that the PTA supplied last year.
