Fundraising

The Rooster Springs Elementary PTA helps our school provide enrichment and programming for students such as student assemblies, One World Night, school wide Art Appreciation projects, social emotional learning support, and author visits. Funds raised each year also provide support through student and staff grants, professional development grants, parent education seminars, monthly staff appreciation events, and an annual Staff Appreciation Week. The Learning Garden is completely PTA-funded and volunteer-run.

With the support of fundraisers we are able to complete large projects such as the buddy bench, outdoor seating area, specialized books to aid young readers, and playground improvements. The highlight 2023-2024 project was adding turf and drainage to a section of the recess play area that had been bare and dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. In 2024-2025 the PTA was proud to help fund the replacement cistern, add turf and drainage to the Gaga pit making it much more usable, and fund a teacher-imagined redesign of the Literacy Library.
