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, staff appreciation, 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.
Dine N' Shares
Dine N' Shares are a great way to spend time
together as a family and help out our schools
at the same time. When you eat out during our
Dine N' Shares, a portion of your purchase goes
back to Chesak or Martin. Bring the whole family
and bring your appetite to help raise funds for
the Chesak/Martin PTA!
