Fundraising

Why does the Foothill PTO raise money?

Here are the facts: Colorado sits in the bottom third nationally for public school funding. We rank 43rd among the 50 states for per-pupil spending. But every year the Foothill Elementary parent community helps make up for these state-funding woes through the annual autumn PTO fundraiser, Fund the Fox. The money we raise goes to essential staff positions and much-needed classroom resources and instructional supplies, as determined by Principal Vanderpol.

Our other, ongoing fundraisers pay for everything else the PTO offers at Foothill, including community get-togethers, enrichment activities, and scholarship/charitable programs. Here's a complete list of activities that we fund:

Kindergarten Playdates
Meet the Principal Coffee Dates
Check-In Day
Back to School Picnic
Heritage Night
Bingo Nights
Talent Show
Bike Bonanza
Maker Faire
Garden-to-Table Program
5th Grade Graduation
5th Grade Musical
Calwood 5th Grade Trip
Geography Bee
Spelling Bee
Trip Tracker
Sports For All

To find out about all the ways you can donate this school year, click on each of the tabs under Fundraising. All of them are really, really easy, like buying Spirit Wear, signing up for Grocery Give Back at your local grocery store, or mentioning Foothill Elementary when you check out at Grandrabbits toy store. Together we can do this!
