THE CRAGMONT FUND

Cragmont PTA directly funds many programs at our school that enrich the Cragmont experience for our students, such as our art class, dance instruction, field trips, gardening supplies, math interventions, school supplies, teacher appreciation lunches, and much more.

 

This is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year! We need your help to raise funds to keep the wonderful programming we have for next year. The Cragmont PTA is a IRC 501(3)(c) non-profit organization (FEIN: 23-7015673)

The Cragmont PTA raises money each year to pay for art and dance instruction, school supplies, field trips, and much more. Most of these funds come directly from you — the Cragmont community.

 

Each year, we raise funds for the next school year, so our current fundraising will support programming in 2024-25.

  • Classroom supply grants to all teachers and specialists 

  • Scholarships for 4th & 5th grade camp, field trips and after school enrichment programs

  • Program support for literacy, math, DEIB program, 5th grade puberty education

  • Community building events like Winter Faire, Dia de los Muertos, Lunar New Year, Black History Month Celebration, picnics, Affinity group meetups, and so much more

 

There are a few other fundraisers throughout the school year but the Cragmont Fund Campaign is critical to the overall success of our efforts. The additional fundraisers and dates that the PTA will sponsor are:

  • The Cragmont Read-a-Thon in October 2023

  • Giving Tuesday / Day of Giving in November

  • The Cragmont annual auction in March 2024

  • End of year Raffle and fundraiser - if needed to hit our goal in May 2024
