InvestED in Walteria is our annual Direct Donation fundraiser.  The Direct Donation fundraiser is the biggest and hopefully the most successful fundraiser that the PTA hosts each year. The amount raised during this campaign will determine how many programs, supplies, and activities the PTA will be able to support for the 2023-24 school year and whether or not additional fundraising will be needed in the winter and spring.

The Walteria PTA's annual Direct Donation fundraiser is the most effective and beneficial way that we can raise money for all of our programs, activities, and classrooms.

Our goal for 2023-24 is $50,000.  That is a lot of money! So, let's see where it all goes...

• Grade-level field trips (including buses!) and assemblies alone will cost $25,700! Add in the $1,200 budget for all-school assemblies and it becomes $26,900.​

• The supplies for the Adventures in Art program cost around $5,000 yearly.

• We budget $11,000 for classroom supplies - that's around $450 per classroom per year.

• $1,000 worth of science lab supplies per grade level is $6,000.

• The 5th grade Promotion budget is $5,500 - this includes t-shirts, memory books, the tile wall, and the ceremony/field day.

• Three teacher/staff appreciation events throughout the year cost a total of $2,400.

•  STEAM Night supplies are around $2,000. The scholarships we offer to Walteria students graduating from South High total $1,500.

• We budget about $1,000 total for any school clubs, a total of about another $1,000 for various events like Read Across America or the Bike Rodeo, $500 for playground equipment like balls, jump ropes, and cones, $500 for the library, and $400 for the Magic of Music program.

• We also are proud to be able to provide school improvements like trees, benches, new folding chairs, and curtains for the cafeteria stage whenever we can.

• The new marquee coming this year is also provided primarily by the PTA and parents through your donations
