The Money

How We
Raise Money


Grant to PGS:


The biggest item that the money goes to is a grant to the School District, so that Peter G. Schmidt teachers can access extra money for assemblies, school-wide motivation/appreciation, library, music, P.E., and art, along with every grade getting money to use, in whatever way they wish. This year the grant is budgeted at $15,000.

Emergency fund to help students and their families in need:
On request from PGS staff, the PTA will cover the cost of a student to attend school functions or purchase needed supplies who would other wise not be able to participate.

Free Events:
All of the events sponsored by PGS PTA are offered at no cost to the families. See the link "Activities We Sponsor" on the left of this page for a list of these events.

Purchase Equipment:
Over the years PGS PTA has purchased items for use at the school such as:

  • Popcorn machine
  • Picnic tables in the new playground area
  • Die cut machine for teachers.
Americorp volunteer:
PGS PTA pays for the this volunteer when one is offered.
