Our biggest fundraiser of the year was a HUGE success!
We raised 99% of our $75,000 goal. Thank you to all participants and donors!
Silva Valley Fun Run
Fundraising: September 6-13, 2024
Run Day: September 13, 2024
We put the FUN in FUNdraising! This year, the PTA is amping up the fun with spirited t-shirts, friendly competition, and awesome class prizes! Unlike previous years, the PTA is managing everything, which means nearly all funds raised during Fun Run Week will go directly back to benefit Silva Valley!* Money raised from this event makes it possible for the PTA to fund enrichment programs and activities for the remainder of the school year, including:
-
Creation of a new STEM Lab
-
Supply a school year's worth of prizes for the PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) student store
-
Continue funding enrichment programs, such as garden, assemblies, author visits, basketball
-
Purchase updated technology, learning tools, and library books
-
Provide teacher/staff enrichment monies for needed supplementary classroom materials
-
Beautify the Silva Valley Elementary campus in multiple ways
-
Plan and deliver family-friendly, community-building events, including the Harvest Festival, family movie nights and the family dance
Our goal is to raise $75,000.
*A nominal fee will be paid to Booster for use of their fundraising platform, which allows you to reach more donors in less time to maximize fundraising efforts.
