"Non-A-Thon"

PLEASE remember to put the students name who your donation goes to in the comments section!  This is the ONLY way to make sure they get credit!     ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!!

It’s that time of year again!  The Cottonwood Elementary PTO fundraising committee is gearing up for our "Non-A-Thon"!

 We are NOT going to ask you to bake, order, sell or run for funds.  We are just going to ask for it!

The “Non-A-Thon” is the Cottonwood PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year.  This allows us to help provide our school, the teachers, the staff and most importantly our children with the resources needed to assist in their education. 

YOUR donations over the last 3 years have been imperative to our students being able to keep our Accelerated Reading program!  PTO funds this program 100% and ALL of the students at Cottonwood learn from it! 

THANK YOU for your DONATION to support our Cottonwood Students! 

As stated last couple of years, reading is the foundation of ALL learning and Cottonwood uses the AR (Accelerated Reader) program to help motivate the kids on their road to success.    On average, the cost per student for AR is $10.00 and the chrome books needed to support AR average a cost of $300.00 per unit.  It is imperative that we do everything possible to keep AR as the benefits our children receive are immeasurable.  The last 3 years the CES PTO has been able to fund AR because of everyone's efforts!!  Let's keep it going and have our best year yet!

This year, because of everyone's donations, we added a new online math program called "DreamBox".  The students and teacher's  both already agreed it's an amazing learning tool!  The wonderful thing about DreamBox is it works with your student at his/her level!  Individualized learning at it's best!!  That being said, this program (like AR). the PTO has to fund 100%.  The cost of this new program is $3,000.00 per year. 

Let's raise those funds and help make our school the BEST in education there is!
