The CES PTA has a yearly budget of approximately $56,700. The Crofton Elementary School PTA Budget is developed by the Board and approved by the General Membership, with occasional revisions by the General Membership as necessary through the year. The budget is maintained by the CES PTA Treasurer. The current PTA budget is available in PDF form (19KB).
Our primary sources of income are membership dues and fundraisers. Many of the fundraisers are also FUN! Prime examples are the Monster Mash fall festival, monthly Ledo Pizza Nights, and the spring Movie Night where everyone packs into the cafeteria for munchies and a movie.
Our primary expenses are student assemblies during the school day, funding the Junior Achievement and Destination ImagiNation programs, required PTA dues to the state and national organizations, the teacher reimbursement program for classroom supplies, and purchasing items for school improvements as requested by the school principal. The CES PTA also has a multitude of smaller expenses that enrich our school, including the PAW Printers program of student publishing, Game Night and other FREE family-oriented programs, and purchasing equipment for the PE program.
If you have incurred expenses for a PTA function, download the Check Request Form to submit the receipt(s) for reimbursement (PDF, 274K). Fill out the form and drop it to the PTA box in the teachers' lounge. Note that original receipts are required. The CES PTA treasurer will write a reimbursement check for you.
For more information on our programs, events, and fundraisers, see the CES PTA committee list.
Suburban Federal Savings Bank has opened a "twig" (not quite a branch!) at Crofton Elementary to help CES students save their money. Participating students open real savings accounts, which are accessible for deposits and withdrawals every Wednesday morning before school (8:45-9:10). The twig is staffed by Fifth Grade students under the supervision of a Suburban Federal Savings Bank officer. If you want to participate, fill out the new student account application (PDF, large file warning: 636K).
The "twig" opens on October 1. Fifth Grade students who are interested in staffing should talk to Ms. Brusca.
Your donation makes a direct impact on the quality of education for your child. Please give generously so that we may continue the many wonderful program at our school.
