About our fundraising:
Without your generous support, we could not be the organization we are today,
supporting over 2200 students and 400 staff members. Your donations help fund
many student and staff programs such as field trips, young authors, staff
appreciation, assemblies, family events and more.
We are a non-profit organization and rely solely on fundraising and donations in
order to operate. With budget cuts and other pressures, PTA fundraising is more
important than ever. We truly appreciate your participation in our fundraisers.
If you prefer to mail your donation, please
print our donation form and mail to:

Q. How does the PTA raise money for both Chesak and Martin Elementary
Schools?
A. We hold fundraising events, such as our Fall Fundraiser, Dine-and-Shares
and Cookbook Sales. These fundraisers are our primary source of income.
Q. What does the PTA do with the funds raised?
A. The money raised by the PTA goes towards valuable programs and services
supported in both schools, including field trips, assemblies, family events, etc.
Learn more about what we do.
Q. Why does the PTA have so many fundraisers?
A. We understand the need for diversity in our fundraising. We hold different
fundraisers to appeal to different personalities and budgets.
Q. What about Spirit Wear? Isn't this a fundraiser?
A. This programs is not a fundraiser. The PTA does not offer Spirit Wear to
generate funds, but because it promotes school spirit and school pride.
Q. Why should I donate or participate in fundraisers for the PTA?
A. Donations and fundraising make it possible for our PTA to continue its
programs, building upon the educational experiences of our children. Fundraising
presents the opportunity for people that don't feel comfortable with a cash
donation, or simply can't afford to donate, to contribute to the PTA.
Q. What about Box Tops for Education and Labels for Education?
A. The PTA does not collect these items, however, the Chesak music department
does. You can send Box Tops and Labels for Education with your child to school.
You can find more information about both programs on this web page.

Shoppe where students were able
to shop for reasonably priced gifts
($0.25 and up) for their family and
friends. (Read article here) It was
an opportunity for our children to
experience the Holiday Season in
an educational, fun and exciting
way. We raised $1442!
To our volunteers, a HUGE thank
you for all the time and effort you put
in to making our 1st Holiday

Seeing the kids think out their
