PTA Announcements
The PTA is excited to kick off our annual Direct Donation Campaign! Our goal is to raise $7,000 in Direct Donations by Thanksgiving. Your donation helps to directly fund community-building events, educational supports in the classroom, student enrichment opportunities, and staff assistance and hospitality. Also, the students receive rewards as we meet each milestone. The first reward will be schoolwide EXTRA RECESS when we reach the $2,000 mark! Any amount is appreciated, so please DONATE today!

As we enter the season of giving, we just wanted to remind everyone that our Direct Donation Drive is still ongoing! We have surpassed $4,500 raised on our way to the goal of $7k! THANK YOU! We are so appreciative of those that have already made a donation - every dollar counts.
To recap, the kids earned extra recess when we hit the $2k mark, and recently got a surprise visit from Rudy the Roadrunner. Rudy dropped off water bottle stickers for all as a reward for hitting our $4k mark. The next big milestone is $6k - and the reward will be a really fun FORT DAY for all classes. Fort Day is the most requested individual classroom prize, but we've have never had a school-wide effort. It’s going to be awesome! Picture the kids setting up cozy forts under their desks with books and flashlights or perhaps a crackling fire playing on the pull-down screen. The BIG reward if we hit $7k will be a Dance-Off between Mr. Martin and Rudy!
We have roughly 500 families in our Northfield community, and we need to raise roughly $2,500 more to hit our goal. If every family gave $5 we would cover that difference - we are so close! Donations can be made online at northfieldpta.org/donate. Thank you!
