The Ways & Means Committee is the main fundraising arm of the Crofton Elementary School PTA. The funds we raise support a huge number of student assemblies, school programs, free events for the school community, and school improvements; for more information about where your dollars go, visit the budget page.
Plans are underway to develop new and exciting fundraising events that are fun for your whole family. Check back regularly for more information!

A sold-out crowd of 550 people celebrated Fall with a monstrously good time at the Monster Mash! Pumpkin decorating, fortune telling, face painting, DJ, and games entertained the whole family. Congratulations to Miranda M. and Robert L. for their closest guesses on the candy jars. Thanks to the many volunteers who made this fun event possible.
Many thanks to the local businesses who donated items for the Mash: Patuxent Nursery, Y Worry Farm, George Poore farm stand, Bead Shack, and Al Friedman from Long & Foster Realtors. Concessions were made possible in part by the Suburban Federal Savings Bank. Thank you for all your generosity - your support means a lot to our school!

Ledo Pizza Night is an ongoing program during the school year. On the first Monday of the month, the Crofton PTA receives a percentage of all sales at Eddie's Place. The more sales, the higher our percentage. No coupons, no hassle, all fun. It's a super-easy way to have a nice family meal and help our school at the same time!
Also, diners have fun chances to win great prizes!
