Fundraising Events

Fundraising serves as our primary means of financial support. It allows us to carry out our programs, initiatives, and services that benefit all student at Kimberly Elementary. Kimberly Elementary PTA spends between $100 and $150 per student - funding on-campus assemblies, no-cost activities, subsidizing the cost of field trips, and providing supplies and books for the classrooms and library, and campus beautification.  

We try to hold fundraisers that interest our community. Survey results indicated community-style fundraisers, thons, and book fairs were preferred.

As always, participation in any Kimberly PTA program or fundraiser is voluntary. If you have any questions, please email fundraising@kimberlypta.org
